Find the slope-intercept form of the line through (6, – 3) and perpendicular to the line y = 3x – 5.

y=-1/3x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the information y=3x-5, the lines are perpendicular, and the new line passes through (6,-3). The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals so you need to find the negative reciprocal of 3, so flip it to 1/3 and multiply by -1, we get the slope of the new line as -1/3. So far we have the equation y=-1/3x+b. We are given a point on the line, (6,-3), so we can plug these into the equation as x and y to solve for the y-intercept, b. You set it up as -3=-1/3(6)+b. First you multiply to get -3=-2+b, then you add 2 to both sides to isolate the variable and you get b=-1. Then you can use b to complete your equation with y=-1/3x-1.

dont understand

step-by-step explanation:

my guess would be b and d, but i didn’t actually get out the pen and paper. lol
