Answer:
y- intercept = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{-\frac{3}{4} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] , then equation of perpendicular line is
y = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x + c
to find c substitute (- 3, - 3 ) into the equation
- 3 = - 4 + c ⇒ c = - 3 + 4 = 1
that is the y- intercept of the perpendicular line is c = 1
