[3 marks]
5.
Determine the equation of a line passing through (-2, 3) and perpendicular to the line y = x - 4.
[4 marks]
6.
Given the line y=3x+2, find the equation of a line perpendicular to it that passes through the point (0, 0).
[3 marks]
7.
A line has the equation y=4x+1. What is the equation of the line perpendicular to it that passes through the point (2, 0)?
[3 marks]
8.
A line passing through (1, 2) has an unknown slope m. It is perpendicular to the line y= x - 3. Find the value of m and write the equation of the line.
