Question

What is the equation of the line passing through (–6, 1) and perpendicular to the line y = –3x + 1 in slope-intercept form?

y = 3x + 4

y = x + 3

y = –3x – 6

y = x – 5

Answer 1

No clue, like I feel sooo dumb with this math stuff. I had a baby and just started back my schooling, I have been out of school for about half a year now...... :'(

Answer 2

okay so what you do is do the rise/ run
so basically it's givien 2 ya

Answer 3

y=mx+b and M=slope so like the equation given 2 you y=-3x+1 so tell me what is the slope?

Answer 4

do you still need my help?

Answer 5

Well,, I passed Algebra 1 with a 98 A. Now that I'm on this it's hrd to me since I had a baby and was out of school for a while, I forgot a lot of what I learned before I had the baby.

Answer 6

Izzy25. yes please.

Answer 7

can you answer this question then?
y=mx+b and M=slope so like the equation given 2 you y=-3x+1 so tell me what is the slope?

Answer 8

idk? :'(

Answer 9

-3 darling, -3.....i just hope when i explain to you you will understand?

Answer 10

oh...... m=slope!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 11

I didn't read that part! SORRY!

Answer 12

it's fine i do it all the time . okay so since the slope is -3 we do something that is called the Negative reciprocal because the key word is PERPENDICULAR, so your slope should be 3

Answer 13

Okay I'm following you far.

Answer 14

so now you got that you just rewrite the equation... instead like this though

y=3x+b because why? because we have no idea what b is for the perpedicular like
and then you plug in the coordinates given to you the coordinates (-6,1) that is

Answer 15

* line

Answer 16

y=-3x-6

Answer 17

is that ur answer?

Answer 18

Yeah,

Answer 19

okay then... so you get it?

Answer 20

YES! I got it right THANKS

Answer 21

metal please then :D

Answer 22

There you go girl! :D
