Answer

The equation of the line in point-slope form is y+2=3(x4) and in slope-intercept form is y=3x+10

Steps

Step 1 :The slope of the given line is 13. The slope of a line perpendicular to this line would be the negative reciprocal of 13, which is 3.

Step 2 :The point-slope form of a line is yy1=m(xx1), where (x1,y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line.

Step 3 :The slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Step 4 :We can use these formulas to find the equations of the line in point-slope form and slope-intercept form.

Step 5 :Substitute m=3, x1=4, and y1=2 into the point-slope form, we get y+2=3(x4).

Step 6 :Rearrange the equation to slope-intercept form, we get y=3x+10.

Step 7 :The equation of the line in point-slope form is y+2=3(x4) and in slope-intercept form is y=3x+10
