ANSWER

[tex]y = - \frac{1}{3} x -\frac{4}{3} [/tex]

EXPLANATION

The given line is

[tex]y = 3x + 3[/tex]

The given point is

[tex](-1,-1)[/tex]

The slope of the given line is

[tex]m = 3[/tex]

We found this by comparing

[tex]y = 3x + 3[/tex]

to

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

If two lines are perpendicular, then one is the negative reciprocal of the other.

Hence the slope of the required line is

[tex] - \frac{1}{3} [/tex]

Using the point-slope formula or otherwise, we can find the required equation.

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

We substitute the slope and point to get:

[tex]y + 1 = - \frac{1}{3} (x + 1)[/tex]

[tex]y = - \frac{1}{3} x -\frac{4}{3} [/tex]
