I am going to tell you step by step how i did an equation and you can tell me if i got it right

Question

anonymous · Answer

(-1, 3) and perpendicular to y = -one thirdx + 7.

 y = 3x - 12

 y = 3x + 6

 y = 3x - 6

 y = 3x

anonymous · Answer

so first I have to turn the slope opposite or whatever and I do this by flipping it then making it a positive sense it was negitive adn it would look like this 3/2

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

given slope is -1/3

flip the fraction to get -3/1

then flip the sign to get +3/1 or 3/1 or 3

anonymous · Answer

yeah opps thats what I meant I don't know where the two came from thanks

anonymous · Answer

Okay so now i put it in point slope formula and this is how it would look...

anonymous · Answer

$$Y -3 = 3(x +1)$$
 then I do the distributive property on the right side
$$Y - 3= 3x +3$$
Then I add the three from the left to both sides and it would look like this
$$y = 3x $$
so did i get it?

anonymous · Answer

y = 3x +6

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

not sure how you got y = 3x, but y = 3x + 6 is correct

anonymous · Answer

no I fixed it lol

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

everything else is correct though, so very nice work

anonymous · Answer

thanks
