Question

3. Write the equation of a line that passes through the point (24, 25) and is

perpendicular to a line that passes through the line y= 3x - 30,​

Answer 1

y=-1/3x + 33

Explanation:

You can start by writing this in point slope form and converting to slope intercept later. Since the slope of the perpendicular line is y=3x-30, this line must have a slope of -1/3. It's point slope form is therefore:

y-25=-1/3(x-24)

Now, you can convert to slope intercept by isolating y:

y=-1/3(x-24)+25

y=-1/3x+8+25

y=-1/3x+33

Hope this helps!
