If a line has slope = , then
any line perpendicular to it will have
slope =


Perpendicular line J,

So far I know line J has the form
. I know it goes through (1,1),
so I can just plug these values for and
back into the equation for J



The equation for J is
I'll plot the 2 lines to check my work
