[4.07]Let c be any constant number. Which of the following will always be perpendicular to −3x + y = −1? y equals one over three times x plus c y equals negative one over three times x plus c y equals negative three x plus c y equals three x plus c

Can you rewrite the equation here in slope intercept form: y = mx + b?

ummmm i dnt get the question lol thts why i asked it..this is my friends account and im a girl lol so if u can help thank u so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't see how your gender has any relevance. You need to first rewrite the equation in slope intercept form. Hint: add 3x to both sides.

idk guys sometimes rather help girls u know there weird....i still dont get it lol im so sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you add the 3x to both sides you get: \[y = 3x - 1\] This is in slope intercept form y = mx + b. Here, m = 3, since it's in front of the x. That is the slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here, the constant is irrelevant. You just need a slope that is perpendicular. To find the perpendicular line's slope, take the reciprocal of m, and take its opposite sign. What is the reciprocal of 3?

im so confused im so sorry
