To find the line that is perpendicular to  and passes through the point (2, −3):

 

Find the perpendicular slope:

The slope of the given line is  .

The perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal, which is  .

 

Use the point-slope form to find the equation of the perpendicular line passing through (2, −3):

Point-slope form:

Here, () is (2, −3) and m is  .

 

Substitute these values:
