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)
(Apply additive inverse property:
)
(Apply additive identity property:
)
(Divide each side by 3)
(Cancel common terms)
Slope of the line is .
If two lines are perpendicular, the slope () of one line is opposite reciprocal
of the second line slope (). 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)
