You can put this solution on YOUR website! write an equation of the line containg the specified point perpendicular to the indicated line: (4,5),7x-2y=1
--------
The given line has a slope of (7/2).
The line we want must have a slope of -(2/7)
The line passes thru (4,5), so
5=(-2/7)(4)+b
b=43/7
EQUATION:
y=(-2/7)x+(43/7)
Cheers,
