What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through
the point (2, -1)?

A)y = -1/3 x -1/3
B)y = -1/3 x -5/3
C)y = 3x - 3
D)y = 3x - 7

My guess would be D.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can eliminate A and B right away considering the Slope of the first equation is already -1/3 and we need the slope to be opposite to be perpendicular. So right then It is either C or D. and with C It doesn't seem like the line intersecting the line above would be parallel so my guess is D.

i can you with this question sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
