Example Problems

A line is goes through the point (9,10) and is perpendicular to another line with equation . What is the equation of the line?

A line goes through the points and . A second line is perpendicular to and passes through point B. Where does cross the x-axis?

Are the following lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither?

Neither. Gradients are and . But , not -1, so not perpendicular.
