Any line with a gradient of 3 will be parallel to \(y = 3x + 7\). Two examples are \(y = 3x - 2\) and \(y = 3x + 11.6\). Find the equation of a straight line that is perpendicular to \(y = 2x + 1\).

Two non-parallel lines will have a common point -the point of intersection - where they cross each other or meet.
