Question:

Use the result of Exercise 31 to find an equation for the line through P perpendicular to v. Then sketch the line. Include v in your sketch as a vector starting at the origin.

P(2, 1), v = i + 2j


Exercise 31

Show that v = ai + bj is perpendicular to the line ax + by = c by establishing that the slope of the vector v is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.
