Write the equation for the line that is perpendicular to y=3x-5 and passes through the point (3,5) (SOLVED)

Question

ANSWER IS y=1/3x+6

Answer 1

y = -x/3 +b (through (3,5) plug in the point to find "b"

6 = -3/3 +b

b =6+1 = 7

perpendicular line is

y =-x/3 +7 NOT y =x/3 +6

slope = negative inverse, NOT the inverse, -1/3, not +1/3
