X is less then or equal to 1<u /><em /><u />
1. Find the slope of the given line. Do this by solving <span>3x-7y+14=0 for m:
3x + 14 = 7y, which gives us m = 3/7.
2. Find the slope of a line perpendicular to this one. It's the negative reciprocal of m = 3/7, or -7/3.
</span>
(-1,1)(1,4)
slope = (4 - 1) / (1 - (-1) = 3/(1 + 1) = 3/2
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
use either of ur points....(1,4)...x = 1 and y = 4
now sub and find b, the y int
4 = 3/2(1) + b
4 = 3/2 + b
4 - 3/2 = b
8/2 - 3/2 = b
5/2 = b
equation is y = 3/2x + 5/2...but we need it in standard form
y = 3/2x + 5/2
-3/2x + y = 5/2.....multiply both sides by -2
3x - 2y = -5 <==== ur standard form equation
If
, then by rationalizing the denominator we can rewrite
