Question 502857
1	y  	=	0.5	x	+	3				
Divide by 	1									
	y  	=	0.5	x	+	3				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b										
slope m =	0.5									
										
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal										-2
m1*m2=-1										
The slope of the required line will be 			-2.00							
										
m=	-2    	,point	(	3	,	-4	)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
-4	=	-6.00	+	b						
b=	2									
m=	-2    									
The required equation is y  	=	-2      	x	+	2
