Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-1, 3) and perpendicular to:

Answer 1

\[y = -\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }x + 7\]

Answer 2

Ok, first we need the slope of the unknown equation.

Answer 3

Okay, I forget what to do.

Answer 4

The perpendicular slope is the negative of the reciprocal

Answer 5

So the unknown slope is \[\frac{3}{1}\]

Answer 6

or just 3.

Answer 7

yep, or just 3

Answer 8

3

Answer 9

So so far the equation of this second line is y = 3x + b

Answer 10

So now we just need b

Answer 11

So, \[3 = 3(-1) + b\]\[3 = -3 + b\]\[6 = b\]?

Answer 12

Oh yeah that works too

Answer 13

I was just going to add the slope to the point

Answer 14

Your way is better

Answer 15

Hahah. XD So, my final answer is y = 3x + 6 right?

Answer 16

Yep lol

Answer 17

Haha, thank you broskii

Answer 18

No prob

Answer 19

Wanna help with another?

Answer 20

Sure but open it as a new question

Answer 21
