Basic equation of the line : y=mx+b, where m is a slope
\n" ); document.write( "If two lines are perpendicular it means that if one has slope m1 then the other one has m2=-1/m1 (negative reciprocal)
\n" ); document.write( "Equation of the line passing through point (x1,y1):
\n" ); document.write( "y – y1 = m(x – x1)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "1. find the slope of line 2
\n" ); document.write( "if line1 y=3x+2 has slope m1=3, then slope of line2
\n" ); document.write( "m2=-1/m1=-1/3
\n" ); document.write( "2.substitute m2,(x1, y1)=(1,-1)
\n" ); document.write( "y-y1=m(x-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "y-(-1)=-1/3(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "y+1=-1/3x+1/3
\n" ); document.write( "3.write equation in basic form
\n" ); document.write( "y=-1/3x-2/3---answer
