Step-1: Slope of given lines
Let AB be the given line, whose equation
is x−2y+3=0
Let the given point be P where P=(1,−2)
Step-2: Required equation of line
We know that product of slope of perpendicular lines is −1
Here, line AB is perpendicular to line CD We know that equation of line having slope m and passing through point (x1,y1) is
y−y1=m(x−x1)
Putting values for line CD x1=1,y1=−2 and m=−2
⇒y−(−2)=−2(x−1)
Final Answer:
Therefore, the required equation of line is y=−2x.
