Question

find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y=3x+2, and passes through the point (0,1) find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y=3x+2, and passes through the point (0,1) @Mathematics

Answer 1

perpendicular means that the slope is negative reciprocal of the original slope

new slope is -1/3
1 = -0/3 + b
b = 1
y = -x/3 + 1

Answer 2

what does b stand for

Answer 3

kinda confused

Answer 4

b is your y-intercept
