Remember, equations of the form are ALWAYS perpendicular to equations of the form . Since the y-coordinate is 17, this means that the equation is the perpendicular line to that goes through (1,17)


Note: the equation in slope intercept form is where the slope is and the y-intercept is which is the point (0,17)
