The point P has coordinates (3, 4) The point Q has coordinates (a, b) A line perpendicular to PQ is given by the equation 3x + 2y = 7 Find an expression for b in terms of a

Perpendicular gradients multiply to give -1. The gradient of the perpendicular line (y=-3/2x+7/2) is -3/2 , so the gradient of PQ is 2/3. Using gradient formula change in y/ change in x :(4-b)/(3-a) = 2/3...
