Find the equation of line through 12 23 perpendicular to the
Find the equation of line through ((1/2), -(2/3); perpendicular to the line 4x-8y=1
Solution
4x - 8y = 1
or, y = x/2 - 1/8
slope of line = 1/2
So slope of perpendicular line will be = -2
Perpendicular line passes through (1/2 , -2/3)
So equation of perpendicular line is,
(y - (-2/3)) = -2 * (x - 1/2)
or, y + 2/3 = 1 - 2x
or, 2x + y = 1/3
or, 6x + 3y = 1
