The equation of line perpendicular to given line through (-6,7) is:
Further explanation:
Given equation of line is:
The co-efficient of x is the slope of given line.
Let m1 be the slope of given line
and
m2 be the slope of line perpendicular to given line
Then
Product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1
The equation of new line can be written as:
Putting m2
To find the value of b, we will put (-6,7) in equation
Putting the values of b and m in general equation
