Graph the line y = 3x +3 (on Desmos) and the line perpendicular to

it that passes through (-3, 2). Then write the equation of the
perpendicular line.

How i was taught how to do it was to mark the x and y in the point given. Then since a perpendicular line has an opposite reciprocal (3~-1/3). We would have to put the 3x into a -1/3 and from there just ignore the b-intercept and just put B n it should look like this (2=-1/3(-3)+b) and the solve to you’ll get y=-1/3+3. I really don’t know if it’s right i may be wrong.
