Short Answer

CNC Machine Path Programming

A CNC machine operator is programming a cutting tool on a coordinate plane. The primary cut is a vertical line defined by the equation x=2x = 2. The operator needs to program a secondary cut that is perfectly perpendicular to the first cut and passes through the specific target point (2,1)(2, -1). Recalling the rule for equations of lines that are perpendicular to vertical lines, what is the exact mathematical equation the operator must enter for this secondary cut?
