help please

callisto · Answer

What is the slope of the line y = 3x + 6?

anonymous · Answer

Thats what i dont understand it just has these answers 
	y = -1/3x + 4
	y = -3x - 16
	y = 3x + 20
	y = 1/3x

callisto · Answer

For an equation of this form y=mx+c
m=slope ; c= y-intercept.
So, can you identify the slope of the line in that equation now?

anonymous · Answer

1/3x ?

callisto · Answer

Why ._.?

anonymous · Answer

.-. I HAVE 1 minute to answer this

callisto · Answer

Is it a quiz?

anonymous · Answer

yes but i didnt really get this in class

callisto · Answer

1. Identify the slope in the given equation by observation.. (Said above)
2. Slope of the equation = -1/slope of line given (perpendicular)
3. Use point-slope form to write the equation.
