Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Perpendicular to the line y = -1/3x - 3; containing the point (2,6)

Answer 1

a perpendicular line will have the negative inverse slope, so our new slope will be 3

new line y = 3x +b

use the point given (2,6)

6 = 3(2) + b

b = 0

y = 3x is the perpendicular line
