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 () of one line is opposite reciprocal
of the second line slope (). It can be represented as,
.
The slope of the line is 1.
So the line perpendicular to above equation has the slope .
Substitute and
in the point-slope form equation.
(Substitute (x1, y1) and m values)
(Product of two same signs is positive)
(Apply distributive property:
)
(Simplify) \ \
The slope-intercept form line equation is .
