Explanation Procedure used: 1. Solve the given equation for y and compute the slope m from the that equation. 2. The slope of the perpendicular line and the given line are negative reciprocal to each other. 3. Obtain the point-slope form of the straight line by substituting the value of m x 1 and y 1 in y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 ) . 5. Express the equation in slope intercept form y = m x + b or in the standard form A x + B y = C . Calculation: From the given information, the values of x 1 and y 1 are 4 and − 3 , respectively. Compute the equation of the perpendicular line as follows. Solve the given equation 2 x + y = 4 for y as follows. y = − 2 x + 4 Compare the above equation with the slope –intercept form y = m x + b and obtain the value of m . y = m ↓ x + b y = − 2 x + 4 From the above equation, the value of m given is –2. Obtain the slope of the perpendicular line as follows. Since the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal to each other, m perpendicular is 1 2 . Now substitute x 1 = 4 , y 1 = − 3 and m = 1 2 , in y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 )

Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.
