perpendicular y=3x-4,(-6,2)

perpendicular

y = 3 x - 4, (- 6, 2)

y = - \frac{1}{3} x

Solution steps

Find the line

y = mx + b

perpendicular to

y = 3 x - 4

that passes through

(- 6, 2)

Find the slope of

y = 3 x - 4 : m = 3

Compute the slope of the perpendicular line:

m_{p} = - \frac{1}{3}

Find the line with slope m=

- \frac{1}{3}

and passing through

(- 6, 2) : y = - \frac{1}{3} x

y = - \frac{1}{3} x

f (x) = \frac{1}{9} x + 2

f (x) = \frac{x ^{2} + 8}{x ^{2} - 6 x - 16}

f (x) = 5 - 2 x

y = 5 x + 1

f (x) = x - 5 + x + 1
