perpendicular means slope is negative reciprocal, so find the slope of the line between (12,3) and (-1,-3) i get \[\frac{3+3}{13+1}=\frac{6}{14}=\frac{3}{7}\] thus perpendicular line will have slope \[-\frac{7}{3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now use almighty point - slope formula to find the equation of the line \[y+5=-\frac{7}{3}(x-3)\] \[y+5=-\frac{7}{3}x+7\] \[y=-\frac{7}{3}x+2\]
