TopicStraight Lines & Coordinate Geometry

  1. The straight line \(l\) passes through the point \(P ( - 3,6 )\) and the point \(Q ( 1 , - 4 )\).
    1. Find an equation for \(l\) in the form \(a x + b y + c = 0\), where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are integers.
    The straight line \(m\) has the equation \(2 x + k y + 7 = 0\), where \(k\) is a constant.
    Given that \(l\) and \(m\) are perpendicular,
  2. find the value of \(k\).
