Find the equation of the line passing through the point (−3, 5) and perpendicular to the line joining (2, 5) and (−3, 6).
The given points are .
Slope of AB
Let m be the slope of the required line. Then,
So, the equation of the line that passes through (−3, 5) and has slope 5 is
Hence, the equation of the required line is
