Question

find the equation of the line that passes through the point (-3,3), and that is perpendicular to the line with the equation y=1/3x+5/3

Answer 1

Since I can't just post the answer, I'll walk you through the problem okay?

Answer 2

preciate that

Answer 3

you know what a perpendicular line is right?

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

Its an intersecting line. +
basically the opposite of parallel lines =

Answer 6

ok

\

Answer 7

Perpendicular lines have a line with positive slope (so it's an increasing line), then the perpendicular line must have negative slope (because it will be a decreasing line). So perpendicular slopes have opposite signs (+) (-) . The other "opposite" thing with perpendicular slopes is that their values are reciprocals

Answer 8

y=-3x?

Answer 9

exactly then when you graph make sure it passes through the given points

Answer 10

so whats the answer?

Answer 11

You could honestly start at 3,3 and use the slope to -3/1 to graph it.
After it is just a matter of plugging in the numbers for the variables
y= -3/1x+3

Answer 12

i dont need to graph it it just wants me to give the equation

Answer 13

the graph is only if you want to check your answer

Answer 14

so whats the equation

Answer 15

whats the anwer

Answer 16

y= -3/1x+3

Answer 17

shoudnt it just be y=-3x+3

Answer 18

yes sorry typing too fast

Answer 19

??

Answer 20

your right its y= -3/1x+3

Answer 21

im saying shondt it just be y=-3x+3 instead of y=-3/1x+3

Answer 22

its the same equation - 3 = - 3/1 doesn't matter if its on fraction form or not
