write the equation of the line perpendicular to 3x-1=0 and passing through
(-1/2,3/4)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Line 3x-1=0 is 3x=1 or x=1%2F3; and this is a vertical line, having NO SLOPE.

Slope of any line perpendicular to it is 0, meaning no change in y, as x does change. Line's equation which should work, is y=3%2F4, a horizontal line, and will include ( -1/2, 3/4 ).
