What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (3, -1) and is perpendicular to a line with a slope of 3/4
...
Standard form for a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
Slope of given line=negative reciprocal of the slope of perpendicular line=-4/3
y=(-4/3)x+b
solving for b using (x,y) coordinates of given point (3,-1)
-1=(-4/3)3+b
-1=-4+b
b=3
Equation of line:
y=-4x/3+3
