someone please help ?????

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

try to draw manually

anonymous · Answer

what ?

anonymous · Answer

Calculate the slope of the line perpendicular to y = 3x - 6 
Slope of the given line is 3..so, slope of its perpendicular will be -1/3...
So, now you have slope -1/3 and point (6,-6)
Find the equation of line..can you? use slope-point form of line to get it

anonymous · Answer

so it would be  y = 3x - 24 ?

amriju · Answer

nooooooooooo

anonymous · Answer

oh..

anonymous · Answer

well its either that or  y = -1/3x - 4

amriju · Answer

thats going by the options....u have workd it it out..?

anonymous · Answer

Yes its D
By using slope-point form
(y+6) = -1/3 (x-6)
y+6 = -1/3x + 2
y = -1/3x - 4

anonymous · Answer

its a big mess of numbers so not really.
