The point P has coordinates (3,4). The Point Q has the coordinates (a,b). A line perpendicular to PQ is given by the equation 3x+2y=7. Find an expression for b in terms of a.

As we appreciate the rule 1: gradient of line PQ multiplied by the gradient of the line perpendicular to it equals -1. Formula: m x mn=-1We use this to find the gradient of line PQ:Firstly, we find the gradi...
