What is the an equation of the line that goes through (−1, −3) and is perpendicular to the line #2x + 7y + 5 = 0#?
1 Answer
Explanation:
Let's write the equation of the line
To do so, solve the equation for
Now, we know that
To make the line that you need to construct perpendicular to the given line, its slope
Now that you have the slope
The standard form is
Since you know that the point
Thus, plug
The equation of your line is
