Question

PLZ HELPP! What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form? the line perpendicular to

y = 1/3x + 5 through (2, 1)

A. y = 1/3x + 7

B. y = -3x + 7

C. y = 3x + 7

D. y = -1/3x + 7

Answer 1

the slope of y = 1/3x + 5 is what?

Answer 2

-3?

Answer 3

no it's just the number in front of the x

Answer 4

just 3

Answer 5

more like 1/3

Answer 6

im sorry im just so lost havent done this in yearss

Answer 7

the slope of y = 1/3x + 5 is 1/3

Answer 8

now you flip the fraction to get 3/1

then you flip the sign to get -3/1 = -3

Answer 9

so it would be A then correct?

Answer 10

so the original slope is 1/3

the perpendicular slope is -3

Answer 11

there's only one answer choice that has a slope of -3

Answer 12

oo gotcha thank you

Answer 13

you're welcome
