line f has an equation of y= -3x+8. Line G includes the points (-1,2) and is perpendicular to line f. what is the equation of line g
line f: y = -3x + 8
Line g is perpendicular to line f..so the slope of line g is the negative reciprocal of line f.
slope of line g = 1/3
Line g passes through (-1 , 2) and has a slope of 1/3.
So the equation of line g is:
(y - 2) = (1/3)(x - - 1)
y - 2 = (1/3)(x + 1)
y - 2 = (1/3)x + 1/3
y = (1/3)x + 7/3
