What is the equation of the line perpendicular to Ax + By = C through the point (2,11)

Answer 1

ax+by = c

has slope = -a/b

perpendicular line has a negative inverse slope = b/a

line through (2,11) with slope b/a

is y-11 = (b/a)(x-2) in point slope form

y = bx/a +2b/a+11 in slope intercept form

bx-ay = -2b-11a in standard form

bx-ay +2b+11a in general form
