Write the point-slope form of the line passing through (2, -12) and perpendicular to y = 3x.

y + 12 = - (x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y = 3x is in the form y = mx with slope m = 3

Given the slope of a line m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

= - = -

Hence

y - (- 12) = - (x - 2), that is

y + 12 = - (x - 2) ← in point- slope form
