Master Writing the equation of a line perpendicular to another equation through a given point

This video tutorial explains how to write the equation of a line that passes through a given point and is perpendicular to another line. It covers the concept of perpendicular lines, the calculation of opposite reciprocal slopes, and solving for the Y-intercept using slope-intercept form. The tutorial also introduces point-slope form and demonstrates graphing techniques for visualizing perpendicular lines.
