Question

Write an equation in slope intercept form
perpendicular to
y=-3x+1
passes through
2,2

Answer 1

I came up with y=3x-4

Answer 2

right, but when the equation is perpendicular, you use the reciprocal.
THat would mean that -3 would become \(\Large\frac{1}{3}\)

Answer 3

OK so that means
y=1/3x-4

Answer 4

?

Answer 5

lol sorry i was afk, but that would actually change your y-intercept. you need to calculate based on the new y-intercept. You equation would look like this
2=\(\frac{1}{3}\)(2)+b

Answer 6

then solve for b and that would be your y-intercept. Can you do that for me @JoStudy?
