The equation in standard form for the line that passes through (5, -2) and is perpendicular to 3x - 4y = 12 is 4x + 3y = 14
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given that line that passes through (5, -2) and is perpendicular to 3x - 4y = 12
We have to find the equation of line
<em><u>The slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>
y = mx + c ------ eqn 1
Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y-intercept
<em><u>Let us first find the slope of line</u></em>
Given equation of line is 3x - 4y = 12
On rearranging the above equation to slope intercept form,
3x - 4y = 12
4y = 3x - 12

On comparing the above equation with slope intercept form,

Thus the slope of line is 
We know that product of slope of given line and slope of line perpendicular to given line is always -1
slope of given line x slope of line perpendicular to given line = -1

Now we have to find the equation of line with slope
and passes through (5, -2)
Substitute
and (x, y) = (5, -2) in eqn 1

<em><u>The required equation of line is:</u></em>
Now substitute
and 

The standard form of an equation is Ax + By = C
x and y are variables and A, B, and C are integers
Rewriting the above equation,

3y = -4x + 14
4x + 3y = 14
Thus the equation of line in standard form is found out
