Question 912055
3      	x	+	4	y  	=	5				
Find the slope of this line										                                                                                                            
										
4	y  	=	-3      	x	+	5    				
Divide by	4									
	y  	=	-  3/ 4	x	+	1 1/4				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b,					m= slope & b= y intercept					
slope m =	- 3/4									
										
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal										1 1/3
Because m1*m2 =-1										
The slope of the required line will be			1 1/3							
										
m=	1 1/3	,point	(	3	,	-2	)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
-2	=	4      	+	b						
b=	-6    									
m=	1 1/3									
The required equation is		y  =4/ 3	x	-6
