Given a fixed point Po(xo, yo) and a nonzero vector n = 

Given a fixed point Po(xo, yo) and a nonzero vector n = (a, b), the set of points P(x, y) for which PoP is orthogonal to n is a line e (see figure). The vector n is called a normal vector or a vector normal to l. = (a, b) Po(xo. Yo) P(x, y) Use the result of Exercise to find an equation of the line passing through the point Po(1, -3) with a normal vector n = (4,0).
