Answer:

y = 3x + 7

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 2) ← 2 points on the line

m =
(2-4)/(3+3) =
(-2)/(6) = -
(1)/(3)

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is


m_(perpendicular) = -
(1)/(m) = -
(1)/(-(1)/(3) ) = 3, thus

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 1, 4) into the partial equation

4 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = 4 + 3 = 7

y = 3x + 7 ← equation of perpendicular line
