Question

write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line described. then find the distance between the point and the line.
1) through :(-3,-2) , perp. to y =3x

Answer 1

y = mx+b
slope of a line perpendicular to another line with slope m is -1/m

Answer 2

so what would be the answer? would the answer be -2=3x+b?
im really confused

Answer 3

I don't know what the answer would be, but I have given you all the hints you need to solve this/

Answer 4

what is the slope of y = 3x?

Answer 5
