Well if you are looking for the slope of the second line then it is always the negative reciprocal of the other slope so in this case the slope in this perpendicular line is . If you are looking to put another point on the graph remember that the formula is So the slope is a rise of 1 and a run of 5 so count 1 up from a point and right five OR count down 1 point and left 5.
Ex co-ordinates of point A are (5,2) and B is (6,-3) where is point C if it is perpendicular to lineAB. It can be C(11,-2) or C(1,-4)
