Find the equation of a line drawn perpendicular to the line = 1 through the point, where it meets the y-axis.
Solution:
We have, = 1 ... (i) Now slope of (i) = slope of any line perpendicular to line (i) meets the y-axis at (0, 6) is . ∴ Equation of the line through (0, 6) and perpendicular to line (i) is (y - 6) = (x - 0) ⇒ 3y = - 18 = 2x ⇒ 2x - 3y + 18 = 0.
