Which equation is perpendicular to 3x - y = 9 and goes through the point (6,6)

y = - x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 3x - y = 9 into this form by subtracting 3x from both sides

- y = - 3x + 9 ( divide all terms by - 1 )

y = 3x - 9 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

= - = - , thus

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (6, 6) into the partial equation

6 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = 6 + 2 = 8

y = - x + 8 ← equation of perpendicular line

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)

answer: c i think
