On a graph there is a line that has an equation of y = -1/3x - 3. Another line runs
perpendicular through that line and passes through the point (-12, 15). What is the
equation of the line in slope intercept form?

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. slope intercept form: y = mx + b

step 2. a line perpendicular to y = (-1/3)x - 3 has slope m = 3

step 3. using point slope and (-12, 15) then y - 15 = 3(x - (-12))

step 4. y - 15 = 3x + 36

step 5. y = 3x + 51 (slope intercept form).
