Given:
A line passes through (-5,-3) and perpendicular to .
To find:
The equation of the line.
Solution:
We have,
On comparing this equation with slope intercept form, i.e., , we get
It means, slope of this line is .
Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1.
Slope of required line is and it passes through the point (-5,-3). So, the equation of the line is
where, m is slope.
Therefore, the equation of required line is .
