perpendicular y=-1/3 x-2,(1,3)

perpendicular

y = - \frac{1}{3} x - 2, (1, 3)

y = 3 x

Solution steps

Find the line

y = mx + b

perpendicular to

y = - \frac{1}{3} x - 2

that passes through

(1, 3)

Find the slope of

y = - \frac{1}{3} x - 2 : m = - \frac{1}{3}

Compute the slope of the perpendicular line:

m_{p} = 3

Find the line with slope m=

3

and passing through

(1, 3) : y = 3 x

y = 3 x

What is the perpendicular y=-1/3 x-2,(1,3) ?
The perpendicular y=-1/3 x-2,(1,3) is y=3x
