Answer:
y = 1/3x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+y = -8
This need to be in slope intercept form, y = mx+b
Subtract 3x from each side
y = -3x-8
The slope is -3
If we want our line to be perpendicular, the slope must be a negative reciprocal.
Take -3, negate it and flip it
-(-1/3) = 1/3
The slope of a perpendicular line is 1/3
We have the slope and a point (-3,1)
We can use point slope form to make a line
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-1 = 1/3(x--3)
y-1 = 1/3(x+3)
Distribute
y-1=1/3x+1
Add 1 to each side
y-1 +1= 1/3x+1+1
y = 1/3x+2
This is in slope intercept form
Answer:
The slope-intercept form of the equation is,
[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x+2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
[tex]3x+y=-8[/tex]
Let us make y the subject to obtain,
[tex]y=-3x-8[/tex]
The slope of this line is [tex]-3[/tex].
The slope of the line perpendicular to this line should have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of [tex]-3[/tex].
The slope of the perpendicular line is
[tex]= \frac{-1}{-3}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
The slope-intercept form of a line is given by
[tex]y=mx+c[/tex], where [tex]m=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]. We substitute this into the equation to obtain,
[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x+c[/tex]
Since the line passes through [tex](-3,1)[/tex], it must satisfy its equation.
This implies that,
[tex]1=\frac{1}{3}(-3)+c[/tex]
This simplifies to,
[tex]1=-1+c[/tex]
[tex]1+1=c[/tex]
[tex]2=c[/tex]
We substitute all these values into the equation to get,
[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x+2[/tex]
