Which equation describes the line that passes through the point at (-2,1) and is perpendicular to the line y=1\3x+5?

Sagot :

Answer:

y = -3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

"m" perpendicular to m= 1/3

          m = -(3/1)         m = -3

The equation:

[tex]y-1=-3(x-(-2))[/tex]

[tex]y-1=-3(x+2)[/tex]

[tex]y-1=-3x-6[/tex]

[tex]y=-3x-5[/tex]

Hope this helps
