A walking path across a park is represented by the equation y=-3x - 3.A new path will be built perpendicular to this path. The paths will intersect at
the point (-3,6). Identify the equation that represents the new path.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the equation of a line perpendicular to , which passes through the point (-3, 6).

Recall that a line perpendicular to a line of the form: , must have a slope which is the opposite of the reciprocal of the slope of the original line. that is, a slope of the form;

Then, in our case, since the original line has slope "-3", a perpendicular line to it should have a slope given by:

We now know the slope, and also a point for this new line, so we use the point-slope form of a line:

step-by-step explanation:

. your answer will contain x - and y -terms. (1 point) x ( ¿¿ 2 − 7 ) 2 +( y 2 − 9 ) 2 √ ¿ 12. what is the distance from the directrix (the crocodile river) to the point ( x , y )? write this equation. your answer will contain a y -term.
