We determine line m as follows:
*First, by theorem we have the following:
Here m1 & m2 are the slopes of two perpendicular lines. For all lines that are perpendicular that is true, so we calculate the slope of line m using the slope of the function given [Which has a slope of 7/4]:
So, the slope of line m is -4/7. Now, using this slope and the point (-1, 4) we replace in the following expression:
Here x1, y1 & m1 are the x-component of the point, the y-component of the point, and the slope of the line respectively, so we replace and solve for y:
And that last function of y is the line m.
