\"y=-5x%2B1\"--------> This is in Slope-Intercept Form, \"y=mx%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "where --->\"system%28Slope=m%5B1%5D=-5%2CYIntercept=b=1%29\" --> Line 1
\n" ); document.write( "As wee see this line in the graph:
\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, I \"think\" you're looking the eqn of the line that is perpendicular to this and passing thru (2,-1)? Which is Line 2?
\n" ); document.write( "Remember for perpendicular lines, \"m%5B2%5D=-1%2Fm%5B1%5D\"
\n" ); document.write( "So, \"m%5B2%5D=-1%2F%28-5%29=1%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then thru points (2,-1):
\n" ); document.write( "Via Slope-Intercept Form, \"-1=%281%2F5%29%282%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=-1-%282%2F5%29=%28-5-2%29%2F5=-7%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore Line 2 -----> \"highlight%28y=%281%2F5%29x-%287%2F5%29%29\", Answer
\n" ); document.write( "We see the graph again,
\n" ); document.write( " ----> See GREEN Line 2, perpendicular to Line 1 (RED)
