Answer:
Substitute in the values of both given coordinates & form 2 equations:
Find the value of B from the equation 2A - B = 1:
Substitute in the B-value to the other equation:
Find the B-value using the equation from before:
Therefore the equation Ax + By = 1 would equal:
we know that
If two lines are perpendicular, then the product o their slopes is equal to minus one
so
Step 1
<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>
we have
------->
This line is parallel to the y-axis
so
the perpendicular will be parallel to the x-axis
Step 2
The equation of the line perpendicular to the given line is the y-coordinate of the given point
Point
the equation is
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
