Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope of the perpendicular line
we know that
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal
(the product of their slopes is equal to -1)
In this problem
we have
The equation of the given line is
so
the slope of the perpendicular line to the given line is
step 2
Find the equation of the line in point slope form
we have
substitute
Convert to slope intercept form
Distribute right side
