Find the equation of the perpendicular line of 3y - 6x + 9 = 0 and passes through the origin.

Let the equation of the line be
:


y- y1 = m ( x-x1)  where ( x1, y1) any point passes through the
line and m is the slope.


Given that the line passes through the
origin point


Then the line passes through the point ( 0,
0)


Let us substitute:


==> y- 0 =
m (x- 0)


==> y= mx


Now we will
find the slope:


Given the perpendicular line
:


3y - 6x + 9 =0


We will write in slope
form:


==> 3y = 6x - 9


==>
y= 2x - 3


Then the slope = 2


Then the
perpendicular slope = -1/2


Then
:


 y= (-1/2) x
