Problem
What is the intersection point of the line and the line perpendicular to it that passes through the point ?
Solution
The slope of is 2, which means the slope of any line perpendicular to it is . Using the point-slope equation for a line we can find the equation of the second line to be . To find the intersection of this with the first line, we plug into the second equation to get . Therefore making the intersection at .
Final answer
(1, 7)
