Question 14299: Find an equation for the line with the given property. Express answer in general form and slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.
Problem
Perpendicular to the line x = 8; containing the point (3,4)
Answer by Alwayscheerful(414) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To find the slope of a perpendicular line, you take the negative recipricol of the current slope.
So, the slope of the perpendicular line would be
Then to solve, you plug in numbers into the equation using the point they gave you (3,4) to solve for b (y-intercept).

Add to both sides

Then put that back into the equation.
