When an equation has the form
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+mx+%2B+b\"$ , $\"m\"$ is the slope of the line
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+%281%2F2%29%2Ax+%2B+4\"$ $\"1%2F2\"$ is the slope of this line
\n" ); document.write( "You are asked to find a line that is perpendicular to this
\n" ); document.write( "one. A line that is perpendicular to another line will
\n" ); document.write( "have a slope that is $\"m%5Bp%5D+=+-%281%2Fm%29\"$ , so in your case
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m%5Bp%5D+=+-%281%2F%281%2F2%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m%5Bp%5D+=+-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Also given is the point (1,-3) that the line must pass through
\n" ); document.write( "The general form of the slope-intercept equation is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29+=+m\"$ , so, filling in the given data:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y+-+%28-3%29%29%2F%28x+-+1%29+=+-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y+%2B+3%29%2F%28x+-+1%29+=+-2\"$ answer \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
