Given:

Equation of line 7x-4y=-12.

To find:

The equation of line  that goes through the point ( − 21 , 2 ) and is perpendicular to the given line.

Solution:

The given equation of line can be written as

7x-4y+12=0

Slope of line is

\text{Slope}=-\dfrac{\text{Coefficient of x}}{\text{Coefficient of y}}

m_1=-\dfrac{7}{(-4)}

m_1=\dfrac{7}{4}

Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1. So, slope of perpendicular line is

m_1m_2=-1

m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}

m_2=-\dfrac{4}{7}           [\because m_1=\dfrac{7}{4}]

Now, the slope of perpendicular line is m_2=\dfrac{4}{7} and it goes through (-21,2). So, the equation of line is

y-y_1=m_2(x-x_1)

y-2=-\dfrac{4}{7}(x-(-21))

y-2=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-\dfrac{4}{7}(21)

y-2=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-12

y=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-12+2

y=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-10

Therefore, the required equation in slope intercept form is y=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-10.
