6x - 2y 10 -2y 10 - 6x y 3x - 5 The slope of this line is 3 so the perpendicular slope will be -13. This tutorial shows how to find a line given a point and a slope by using the point slope formula. Y-y1 2 x-x1.
The other format for straight-line equations is called the point-slope form.
The equation of a line is such that its highest exponent on its variables is 1. Y y 1 m x x 1 The equation is useful when we know. Where m is the slope of the line and h k is a point on the line any point works. M and want to find other points on the line.
