Find an equation of the line perpendicular to that passes through the point (,).
If two lines are perpendicular, the slopes are negative reciprocals.
so, find a slope of
=> slope
-> negative reciprocal is
so, the slope of the perpendicular line is
then perpendicular line will be:
........substitute slope =
.......use given point (,) to calculate
and your equation is:
