Question

write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with the given condition that contains the point (6,-2)
Perpendicular to the line y=-3x+4

Answer 1

Similar to your last question but since the lines are perpendicular the slope will be 1/3 because the slope of two perpendicular lines when multiplied togther equals -1.

Answer 2

what is the equation?

Answer 3

??????

Answer 4

Oh OK...
It is
y+2 = 1/3(x - 6)

Answer 5

Solve for y

Answer 6

y can you solve, lol i don't understand this

Answer 7

i'll give you a medal

Answer 8

Clearly...I'll try to teach you. The slope intercept form is
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
So you know the slope is 1/3 and you know the coordinates of one point the line goes through. so you substitute the values into x1 and y1

Answer 9

So now that you have the following equation
y + 2 = 1/3(x - 6)
y + 2 = 1/3x - 2
y = 1/3x - 4

Answer 10

Do you sort of understand now?

Answer 11

kinda its a little more clear

Answer 12

thankyou for your help

Answer 13

you are welcome
