Linear Equations in 2 Variables – Perpendicular Line

Algebra, Medium

This guide explains how to find the equation of a line perpendicular to a given line when the equation is in slope-intercept form. It demonstrates how to use the slope formula and the concept of negative reciprocals to determine the slope of the perpendicular line. The guide uses the Desmos graphing calculator to illustrate the process and provide a visual representation of the solution.
