The line equation in slope-intercept form is , where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Find the slope of the line
(Add 2x to each side)
(Additive inverse property:
)
(Divide each side by 3)
(Cancel common terms)
Slope of the line is
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, .
So, slope of the line perpendicular to equation is .
Substitute (x1, y1) = ( 4, 7) and in the point-slope form equation
(Substitute (x1, y1) and m values)
(Apply distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac) \ \
