The given line is .
above line is slope - intercept form .
So, given line has a slope of() =
.
So, a line perpendicular to it has a slope of .
Because you know the slope and a point on the line,
\Use point - slope form to write an equation of the line.
Let =
and slope(
) = 3.
(Substitute 1 for
, 4 for
and
= 3)
Rewrite in slope - intercept form . \ \
(Apply distributive property:
)
(Multiply:
