Find the equation of the line L where L is perpendicular to
Find the equation of the line L, where L is perpendicular to y = 3/4 x and passes through the point(4, 3).
Solution
For the given line, y=3/4x slope i.e. m=3/4
for line perpendicular to this line slope will be m=-4/3
Now, y-3 = (-4/3) (x-4)
y-3 = -4/3 x + 16/3
=> y = -4/3 x + (16/3+3) =-4/3 x + 25/3
y = -4/3 x + 25/3
