Answer:

  • D. y = 1/3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

It mentions the new line is perpendicular to the original line.

  • New slope = -(1/-3) = 1/3

It also mentions it passes through the point (3, -1).

Using point-slope form of equation,

  • y + 1 = 1/3(x - 3)
  • y + 1 = 1/3x - 1
  • y = 1/3x - 2
