Answer

Final Answer: The equation of the line is \(\boxed{11x + y - 7 = 0}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The given line is in the form of \(ax+by=c\). We can convert it to the slope-intercept form \(y=mx+c\) to find the slope of the given line.

Step 2 :The slope of the given line is \(\frac{1}{11}\).

Step 3 :The slope of a line perpendicular to this line would be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line, which is -11.

Step 4 :We can then use the point-slope form of the line equation \(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\) to find the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line and passing through the given point.

Step 5 :Substituting the values, we get the equation of the line as \(11x + y - 7 = 0\).

Step 6 :Final Answer: The equation of the line is \(\boxed{11x + y - 7 = 0}\).
