Question 763473: true or false, if a line L1 has equation y=mx+b, where m and b are constant with m 1 o, then and equation of a line L2 perpendicular to L1 has the form y=-1/xm+C, where C is constant

Not true the way the perpendicular line is written:
(1) y = -1/xm + C
It should be
(2) y = -(1/m)*x + C
