Question

2. Write an equation of a line that is perpendicular to theline represented by 3x - y = 8 and goes through point (0, 2)on the y-axis.

Answer 1

Remember that the equation of a line in slope-intercept form, is:

`y=mx+b`

Where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

First, write the equation 3x-y=8 in slope-intercept form to find its slope:
