Find the slope-intercept form of an equation of the line perpendicular to the graph of x – 3y = 5 and passing through (0, 6). Question 3 options: a) y = –3x + 6 b) y = 13x − 2 c) y = 13x + 2 d) y = 3x – 6

Hello there,

Well first we need to write down what we know/what are we finding out...

 - the original line has the equation of x - 3y = 5

 - we are finding the equation of the line that is perpendicular

Now we start by changing the original equation to slope-intercept form:

Perpendicular lines have the negative reciprocal slopes so the new line has to have the slope as -3.

Option A would be the correct a) y = -3x + 6

Hope I helped,

b, i believe, but not sure.
