What is the slope of the line passing through (3,-4) and perpendicular to the line y=3x+5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it's perpendicular to 3x, then it must be -1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well m would be 1/-3 just plug in 3 and -4 and solve for y next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4=1/-3 * 3+b solve for b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b=-3 so it be y=1/(-3) * x + -3
