Consider the line y = 3x - 1. Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point (-8, 3)
Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (-8, 3).

y = -1/3x + 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.

The given line is

y = 3x - 1

This equation is written in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope.

slope of given line = m = 3

slope of perpendicular line = -1/3

Now we need the equation of the line with slope -1/3 that passes through the point (-8, 3)

y = mx + b

y = -1/3x + b

3 = (-1/3)(-8) + b

3 = 8/3 + b

9/3 = 8/3 + b

b = 1/3

y = -1/3x + b

y = -1/3x + 1/3

typically if you want , you would actually put questions here for us to you. but hey, that's just me. maybe someone will magically answer the questions for you without knowing what they are.

the battle of gettysburg is considered the "high water mark" of the confederacy because it marked the greatest advance of the confederate forces against the union.
