\n" ); document.write( "Given Line 1: \"y=3x%2B2\"---->it follows slope-Intercept form \"y=mx%2Bb\",
\n" ); document.write( "where \"m=Slope=highlight%283%29\" and \"b=yIntercept=2\".
\n" ); document.write( "In Line 1, we designate \"Slope\" as \"m%5B1%5D\".
\n" ); document.write( "when 2 lines are perpendicular, the Slope of the other line is \"negative reciprocal\",
\n" ); document.write( "which means \"m%5B2%5D=-1%2Fm%5B1%5D\". Therefore, to get the slope of Line 2 that is perpendicular----->\"m%5B2%5D=-1%2Fhighlight%283%29=-1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then, thru point (1,-1) where \"x=1\" & \"y=-1\",also we use \"m%5B2%5D=-1%2F3\". Via our Slope-Intercept form:
\n" ); document.write( "\"-1=%28-1%2F3%29%281%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-1=-1%2F3%2Bb\"--->\"b=-1%2B%281%2F3%29=%28-3%2B1%29%2F3=-2%2F3\", Y-intercept:
\n" ); document.write( "Then the eqn of Line 2 according to our Slope-Intercept Form: \"highlight%28y=%28-1%2F3%29x-2%2F3%29\" or \"highlight%28%281%2F3%29%28x%29%2By=-2%2F3%29\" STandard Form (Answer)
\n" ); document.write( "As we sse the graph:
\n" ); document.write( "-------> RED, Line 1 : GREEN, Line 2
