Question

M

2. Write the equation of a line that is
perpendicular to y = 3x – 2 and passes
through the point (3, 2).

Answer 1

`y = -(1)/(3)x + 3`

Explanation:

2 = −⅓[3] + b

−1

`3 = b \\ \\ y = -(1)/(3)x + 3`

Perpendicular Lines have OPPOSITE MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSE RATE OF CHANGES [SLOPES], so 3 becomes −⅓.
