A line with a slope of \(-\frac{1}{3}\) is perpendicular to the line \( y = 3x + 2 \).
Solución
1. The given line is
\[
y = 3x + 2,
\]
which has a slope \( m = 3 \).
2. Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is \(-1\). That is, if a line with slope \( m_1 \) is perpendicular to a line with slope \( m_2 \), then
\[
m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1.
\]
3. Let \( m_{\perp} \) be the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line. Then,
\[
3 \cdot m_{\perp} = -1.
\]
4. Solving for \( m_{\perp} \):
\[
m_{\perp} = -\frac{1}{3}.
\]
5. Therefore, among the options provided, the line with slope \(-\frac{1}{3}\) is perpendicular to the line
\[
y = 3x + 2.
\]
Any line with the form
\[
y = -\frac{1}{3}x + b,
\]
where \( b \) is any constant, will be perpendicular to the line \( y = 3x+2 \).

Bonus Knowledge
To find a line that is perpendicular to the line \( y = 3x + 2 \), we first need to identify the slope of the given line, which is 3. The slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope. Thus, the negative reciprocal of 3 is \(-\frac{1}{3}\). So, any line with a slope of \(-\frac{1}{3}\) will be perpendicular to \( y = 3x + 2 \). For example, a line that passes through the point (0, 0) with this slope can be expressed as \( y = -\frac{1}{3}x \).
