Question

Question 6: Please help. What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to line with the equation y=−3x−1 and passes through the point (6,−1)?

Answer 1

Answer:

the second option: y=1/3x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

you take the perpendicular slope, which is 1/3 in this case, you need to find the B in the equation ( y=mx+B) and you fill in the points

so it looks like this:

-1= 1/3(6)+b

then you work it out:

-1=1/3(6)+b multiply

-1=2+b. take away 2 from both sides

-3=b

there you go you plug that into the equation along with the slope we got earlier, bing bop boom you got your answer:

y=1/3x-3

I'm sorry if I didnt explain well- my english my not be so good but my math is above average

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is y=1/3x-3 so the second option.
