Question

Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (6, -6) and is perpendicular to y = 3x - 6.

y =1/3 x - 8

y = -3x + 12

y = 3x - 24

y = -1/3x - 4

Answer 1

y=-1/3x-4

Answer 2

Answer 3

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are related m1=-1/m2.

Our slope is perpendicular to slope 3, so the line has a slope -1/3.

If the two lines are to intersect, then the point (6,-6) must satisfy the linear equation.

-6 = (-1/3)(6)+b ===> b=-4

y=-1/3 x -4
