First find the slope of the line
.
Rewrite the line in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept.
\
\ \
Compare the equation with slope-intercept form and find the slope of the line.
\= 0.
\If two lines are perpendicular, the slope (m1) of one line is opposite reciprocal of the second line slope (m2). It can be represented as,
.
Slope of the line perpendicular to given line is 
So, slope of the new line =
.
Graph the line using given point and slope.
\1. Draw a coordinate plane.
\2. Plot the given point (3, 3).
\3. Find the next point using
. Start at (3, 3) and go up 1 unit, then mark a dot and label it.
4. Draw a line through these points.
