Answer:
y = -1/3x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.
The line y = 3x - 2 has slope 3.
The perpendicular line has slope -1/3.
Now we find the equation of the line that has slope -1/3 and passes through (-9, 5).
y = mx + b
y = -1/3x + b
5 = (-1/3)(-9) + b
5 = 3 + b
b = 2
The equation of the perpendicular is
y = -1/3x + 2
