A line is perpendicular to y=3x-8 and intersects the point (6,1). How can we find the slope of this perpendicular line?

A line is perpendicular to y3x8 and intersects the point 61 How can we find the slope of this perpendicular line class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

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

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 = 3x - 8 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

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

[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ← slope of perpendicular line
