The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal -0.33
m1*m2=-1
The slope of the required line will be -0.33 =-1/3
m= - 1/3 ,point (-2,0)
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
y=mx+b
0 = 2/3 + b
b= - 2/3
m= - 1/3
The required equation is y=(-1/ 3)x- 2/ 3
