Please help! Passes through (- 1, - 8) and perpendicular to x + 3y = - 6
What is the equation?

y = 3x - 5  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, place the given equation in slope-intercept form, represented by the formula , to find the slope. Whatever or the coefficient of x-term is will be the slope. Isolate y in the equation:

So, the slope of that line is . Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are opposite reciprocals, thus the slope of the new line will be 3.

2) Now, use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the new line. Substitute real values for the , and in the equation.

Since represents the slope, substitute in its place. Since and represents the x and y values of one point the line passes through, substitute the x and y values of (-1,-8) into the formula as well. Then, isolate the y in the resulting equation to put the equation in slope-intercept form and find an

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.

step-by-step explanation:

this is not possible to solve with the info given.   you need at least an one angle somewhere.
