This is in the form
where = slope, so
-------------------------
Any line perpendicular to this line will
have slope =
------------------------
The unknown line passes through ( 3,7 )
You can use the general point-slope formula
Multiply both sides by
--------------------------
check the answer:
Does it go through ( 3,7 ) ?
OK
