Question 110733
Find the equation of the line that contains the point (1,-2) and is perpendicular to the line y=-3/4x+2
-----------------
If it is perpendicular to y=(-3/4)x+2 it has a slope of 4/3
---------------------
Use y=mx+b and substitute to find "b":
-2 = (4/3)*1+b
b = -2-(4/3)
b = -10/6 = -5/3
