\
The line equation in slope-intercept form is , where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. \ \
If two lines are perpendicular, the slope (m1) of one line is opposite reciprocal of the second line slope (m2). It can be represented as, .
The slope of the lineis
.
So the line perpendicular to above equation has the slope -2.
Substitute (x1, y1) = ( 1,-3) and in the point-slope form equation
(Substitute (x1, y1) and m values)
(Product of two same signs is positive) \ \
(Apply distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac))
(Subtract 3 from each side)
(Additive inverse property:
)
(Additive identity property:
)
(Subtract:
)
The required slope-intercept form of the line equation is .
