Problema Solution
Write a slope-intercept equation for a line passing through the given point that is perpendicular to the given line.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let the given point be (x0, y0) and the given line be y = m0x + b0
slope of perpendicular line = -1/m0
Perpendicular line is as follows:
y - y0 = -1/m0 (x - x0)
y = -x/m0 + (x0/m0 + y0)
