Question

Find a slope-intercept equation that's perpendicular to 6x - y = 1 and 

passes through (5,2). 

Answer 1

This is an Algebra 1 problem

1) convert 6x - y = 1 to slope-interept form

2) take the slope and make into negative reciprocal

3) use the negative reciprocal in a new slope-intercept form

4) substitute (5, 2) for (x, y) to determine value of b
