Here is how to solve it.
First, find the slope of the given line. To do this, solve the equation for "y". That will convert the equation to the slope-intercept form. From there, you can immediately read off the slope.
Since parallel lines have the same slope, the line you are looking for will have the same slope. Now you need to use the point-slope form of the equation, with the given point, and the slope you just calculated.
Finally, solve this equation for "y" to bring it into the requested slope-intercept form.

What is the equation of the line passing through -2 -3 that is at right angles to the equation 4x plus 3y -5 equals 0 on the Cartesian plane?
The equation will be perpendicular to the given equation and have a slope of 3/4:- Perpendicular equation: y--3 = 3/4(x--2) => 4y--12 = 3x--6 => 4y = 3x-6 Perpendicular equation in its general form: 3x-4y-6 = 0
What is the perpendicular distance from the point 2 4 to the line y equals 2x plus 10?
Known equation: y = 2x+10 Perpendicular equation through point (2, 4): 2y = -x+10 Both equations intersect at: (-2, 6) Perpendicular distance from (2, 4) to (-2, 6) is 2 times square root of 5 by using the distance formula
What is a line segments or ray that passes through the midpoint of a side and is perpendicular to the side?
A perpendicular bisector.
What is the straight line equation passing through points 4 and 0 when it is perpendicular to x plus 7y plus 4 equals 0?
x+7y+4 = 0 => y = -1/7x-4/7 The slope of the second equation is the reciprocal of the first equation with the minus sign changing to a plus sign. y = mx+c where m is the slope and c is the intercept on the y axis So: 7*4+c = 0 28+c = 0 c = -28 Therefore the perpendicular equation is: y = 7x-28 which can be expressed in the form of 7x-y-28 = 0
