What is the y-intercept of the line perpendicular to the line y = 3x + 3 that includes the point (3, 1)?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

line perpendicular to the line y = 3x + 3 includes the point (3, 1).

You need to find the line equation.  

The given line y =3x+3 is of the form.

Remember that (3 is your X) and (1 is your Y)

so you are going to use the formula y=mx+b

The slope of the line is a negative reciprocal of the perpendicular to the line.

Consider the line equation.

Substitute m=-1/3 in the equation.

Substitute x =3 and y =1 in the equation to find the value of b.





We know that b is the y-intercept.
