Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line described.

Question

through: (-3, 1), perpendicular to y = 3/2x + 3

Answer 1

y=3/2 x +3

slope of this line=3/2

slope of a perpendicular line=-2/3

Eq of a line slope-intercept form,

y=mx+b   where m= slope, b= y intercept.

y = -2/3x+b....this line passes thru (-3,1)

1=-2/3*-3 +b

1=2+b

-1=b

Equation of a line,

y=-2/3x-1
