Write an equation of the line that passes through (1,-3) and is perpendicular to the line [tex]y=-\frac{1}{3}x+5[/tex]

Respuesta :

Answer:

y = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given line slope = m = -1/3

   perpendicular line slope = - 1/m = 3

Point slope form through point 1, - 3

(y+3) = 3 ( x-1)       expand and rearrange

y -3 = 3x- 3

  y = 3x - 6  

Step-by-step explanation:

perp.: 3

y + 3 = 3(x - 1)

y + 3 = 3x - 3

y = 3x - 6
