Write an equation of the line that passes through (3,2) and is perpendicular to the line y= 1/3x-3

y = - 3x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = x - 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m =

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

= - = - = - 3, then

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, 2) into the partial equation

2 = - 9 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 9 = 11

y = - 3x + 11 ← equation of perpendicular line
