First we need to find the equation of the line l passing through the points (2, 4) and (5, 1).

The equation of a line is expressed as y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the intercept

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = 1-4/5-2

m = -3/3

m = -1

Get the intercept

Substitute any point (2, 4) and the slope m = -3 into the expression y = mx + c

4 = -3(2)+c

4 = -6 + c

c = 4+6

c = 10

The equation of line l is y = -3x+10

Next is to find the equation of the line w perpendicular to the line l, through P(1, 1).

Since the line w is perpendicular to lin
