Find the equation of a line perpendicular to a line through a point

👉 Learn how to write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to a given line. The equation of a line is such that its highest exponent on its variable(s) is 1. (i.e. there are no exponents in its variable(s)). There are various forms which we can write the equation of a line: the point-slope form, the slope-intercept form, the standard form, etc.

When given a point (x, y) through which a line passes and the slope (m) of the line, the equation of the line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1). For perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes is -1. Thus given the equation of a line and a point through which the line perpendicular to the given line passes, then the slope of the second line is equal to the negative of the reciprocal of the slope of the given line. Having found the slope, we can then use the formula stated above together with the given point to find the required equation.

I bet these kids don’t even appreciate how good of a teacher he is. Thank you Mr. McLogan.

[nymiradripp]

Those kids were trying to get outta there lol

[handsrfull]

The greatest teacher I’ve ever seen honestly

[laynecook]

you made this concept so easy and you broke it down and taught slowly, my maths teacher literally doesn't even talk and has finished the whole equation before we even get our pens out

[icegirl]

Kindest teacher I see online, not like his students treat him this way, never even say 'goodbye and thank you teacher' after lesson.

[kas]

thank you, you teach better than my geometry teacher wtf

[tayanaliss]

those learners are so ungrateful. if I had such a teacher I will even beg him to stay longer and teach

[theclonestuds]

you might be the only teacher to say the truth when they say "i'll go through this as quickly as possible"

[QUININITA]

Thank you so much this has helped my son tremendously, you teach better than his teacher .

[unvcikc]

ty man, I am sorry the students you teach don't know anything about respect.

[tubbycustard]

I wonder if kids in your class are looking this up cause they weren't paying attention!

[laurasosa]

As a college senior, thank you so much for all you do. I binge-watch all your videos before my exams and youve been the reason why ive passed them!

Posted 8 years ago, still helping .
Thank you professor you explained it in 3 minutes what my teacher coudnt in 4 periods which is of 40 each

[arine]

literally have my final in a few hours, couldn’t understand a word my teacher was saying but this saved my life thx

[spirits]

sir I’m going to be honest, I just moved up to the highest class in my school. Therefore they are a bit further in topics, and I needed to catch up by myself, I am literally trying to understand the topic for an hour but this wonderful 3 minutes video made me do all the questions. You are extremely helpful sir ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[omgitsdiana]

My teacher has been trying to teach my class this for over an hour and I didn’t understand. This video is almost 3 min and I understand now. Thank you

[amiya]

thank you so much! i have a test tomorrow that I've been stressing over for over two hours now, and this broke it down in a grand total of three minutes. this was a lifesaver.

[Abdullah-omnr]

In almost 3 minutes my man taught me something that my teacher and tutor weren’t able to put into my head in the span of 2 weeks

[seijumimurasakibara]

thank you so much you have no idea how much you helped me.... you're even better than my prof!! Honestly these kids are lucky to have you as a teacher. You teach very well and your diction and pronunciation are really good! Hope to see more complex math videos from you. Thank you again and I wish you have a good day or just a day today! :)

[Kupo]

Algebra and a college level math course is the only thing holding me back from graduating with my (non-math related) degree. Your videos are great and are really helping me have breakthroughs when I'm stuck. I desperately need to finish school so I can take care of my family and this is getting me there for sure. Thank you! I hope you know how life changing these videos are!
