Question

A line is perpendicular to y = {x – 2

and intersects the point (3,3).
What is the equation of this
perpendicular line?
y = -3x + [?]
Hint: Use the Point-Slope Form: y - y1 = m(x - X1)
Then write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Explanation:

m = -
`(7)/(3)` ; ( 3 , 3 )

y - 3 = -
`(7)/(3)` ( x - 3 )

y - 3 = -
`(7)/(3)` x + 7

y = -
`(7)/(3)` x + 10
