The line Perpendicular to a Given Line through a Point on the Line has been created in the space that we have below

How to create a line Perpendicular to a Given Line through a Point on the Line

Creating a line perpendicular to a given line through a point involves finding the negative reciprocal of the original line's slope. Then, using the point's coordinates, form an equation in point-slope form (y - y₁ = m⋅(x - x₁)).

Replace the slope with the negative reciprocal to obtain the equation for the perpendicular line passing through the given point.

The line has been created in the attachment that we have in the question.
