Question

What's the equation of the line perpendicular to y=3x-2 and passes through the point (-9,5)? I'm having a brain freeze and can't remember how to do this... Thanks!

Answer 1

The answer is -x/3+2=y

Answer 2

-x/3+2=y

Explanation:

m should be -1/3

mx+n=y

-x/3+n=y

(-9,5) should equalize the equation

3+n=5

n=2

SO -x/3+2=y
