Write the equation of a line through a point perpendicular to another equation

The video tutorial explains how to write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to another line. It covers the concept of opposite reciprocal slopes, which are used for perpendicular lines, and demonstrates how to apply the point-slope form to find the equation. The tutorial also guides on converting the equation to slope-intercept form and addresses handling fractions in equations.

What is the difference between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines?

How do you determine the new slope when given a slope of a line?

Explain the point-slope form of a linear equation.

What steps do you take to convert from point-slope form to slope-intercept form?

How do you handle subtracting fractions when performing operations in slope-intercept form?
