Answer:

a. y= 1/3 x + 2

b. x= -6

c. y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

a. y= mx+ c

the points are (-3,1)

the gradient is 1/3 as it is perpendicular

therefore substituting:

1= 1/3 (-3) +c

1= -1 +c

c= 1+1

=2

So, y= 1 x + 2

b.

x-intercept is when y=0

so substituting 0 in the equation

here: 0=1/3x + 2

1/3 x = -2

x = -6

c.

y-intercept is when x=0

y=1/3 (0) +2

y=2
