Question

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to the line x - 3y = 9 and passing through the point (3,5).

Answer 1

@Cruxim First, change the equation to slope intercept form:
\[y=mx+b\]
Second, follow the point slope form with the set of points given. From the first step, you will get the slope of the line. Replace it in this equation below:
\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

Tell me what answer did you get. :)

Answer 2

By the way, welcome to Open Study! :)

Answer 3

Ah thank you for the welcome!
For slope intercept I got: y=x/3-3
For x I got -12 and for y I got -4
