perpendicular y+1= 1/3 x,(2,-3)

perpendicular

y + 1 = \frac{1}{3} x, (2, - 3)

y = - 3 x + 3

Solution steps

Find the line

y = mx + b

perpendicular to

y + 1 = \frac{1}{3} x

that passes through

(2, - 3)

Find the slope of

y + 1 = \frac{1}{3} x : m = \frac{1}{3}

Compute the slope of the perpendicular line:

m_{p} = - 3

Find the line with slope m=

- 3

and passing through

(2, - 3) : y = - 3 x + 3

y = - 3 x + 3

What is the perpendicular y+1= 1/3 x,(2,-3) ?
The perpendicular y+1= 1/3 x,(2,-3) is y=-3x+3
