Answer:

The equation of a perpendicular line to

y =( -1/3 )x+b (b is a normal number)

Explanation:

1.Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope.

Tap for more steps...

m = 3

2. the perpendicular line to y=3x+3

must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.

thus,

m perpendicular = −1/3
