Question 595823
	y  	=	3      	x	+	2    				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b,	m= slope & b= y intercept					
slope m =	3    									
										
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal										- 1/3
m1*m2=-1										
The slope of the required line will be			- 1/3							
										
m=	- 1/3	,point	(	-2	,	4	)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
4	=	  2/ 3	+	b						
b=	10/3									
m=	- 1/3									
The required equation is	y  =-  1/ 3	x+10/ 3
