Question

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 3x + y = 7 and passes through the point (6, −1).

Answer 1

Hi, So perpendec. in analytical lang. is -1/Slope = NewSlope

Answer 2

The canonical form of original line is y = -3x + 7

Answer 3

Now NewSlope is thus -1/-3 = 1/3

Answer 4

Now Substitute your point X=6 Y=-1 into the tentative form of the perpendec :

Answer 5

-1= NewSlope*6 + Intersect

Answer 6

Id est -1 = 1/3 * 6 + n

Answer 7

I figure you figure how to find the n by now

Answer 8

So complete the task. AND CHECK URSLF BY SUBSTITUTION OF THE POINT INTO YOUR ANSWER

Answer 9

Medals are due BTW....
