Tograph the given equation.
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
Line contains P(7, 3) and is perpendicular to line LM with L(-2, -3) and M(-1, 5)
Slope of the line is given by the formula,
We know when the lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes is -1.
Hence the slope of line LM is,
Slope of theperpendicular line is
Hence now we shall move 1 units up and 8 units to left from the point P(7, 3)
We shall get the point (-1, 4). Join the points.
Graph is,
