Find the equation of a line drawn perpendicular to the line `x/4+y/6=1` through the point where it meets the y-axis.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

given equation of line is
`\small \frac{x}{4}+\frac{y}{6}=1`
we can rewrite it as
`3x+2y=12`
Slope of line `3x+2y=12 , m' = -\frac{3}{2}`
Let the Slope of perpendicular line is m
`m = -\frac{1}{m'}= \frac{2}{3}`
Now, the ponit of intersection
