<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>
Let
slope mAB is equal to
Step
<u>Find the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the given line</u>
Let
CD ------> the line that is perpendicular to the given line
we know that
If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to
so
Step
<u>Find the equation of the line with mCD and the point (3,0)</u>
we know that
the equation of the line in the form point-slope is equal to
Multiply by both sides
therefore
the answer is
the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line is the equation
