Question

Choose the slope-intercept: equation of the line that passes through the point (6, -6) and is perpendicular to y = 3x - 6.
A) y = 1/3x - 8
B) y = -3x + 12
C) y = 3x - 24
D) y = -1/3 x - 4

Answer 1

slope intercept form ;
y=mx+b
here slope for the line y=3x-6 is 3
but since we want the slope of a line perpendicular to this:::::
so negative recip[rocal of this is taken......
so here m=-1/3

Answer 2

right till here...........?

Answer 3

y=mx+b
-6=-1/3(6)+b
-6=-2+b
-4=b
b=-4
so the equation is:
y=(-1/3)x-4
