Which is the equation of the line that passes through (6, 2) and is perpendicular to a line with slope -1/3?

a. y-6=-1/3(x-2)
b. y-2=1/3(x-6)
c. y-2=3(x-6)
d. y-6=-3(x-2)
e. y-2=-3(x-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the perpendicular line m₂ must  be the negative reciprocal of the slope m₁ of the first line.

The only equation with m = 3 is  

This is the point slope form of the equation for a straight line through (6, 2) with slope = 3.

answer is : muchas/tipicas

step-by-step explanation:

because first you have to add the 4x, 9x, and the 7x together and you get 20x and then you add the last numbers up and you get 5and then you put the subtraction sign in there and that's how you get the answer.
