Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line is usually written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.
Gradient of given line= 3.
(Gradient of line)(3)= -1
3m= -1
m=
subst. m= into the equation:
To find the value of c, substitute a coordinate.
When x=0, y=4,
Thus the equation of the line is .
