First of all we need to find the slope of the first line;
\n" ); document.write( "m=\"%28Y2-Y1%29%2F%28X2-X1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "m=\"%28-2-4%29%2F%283-1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "m=\"-6%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "m=-3
\n" ); document.write( "Now the perpindicular line to this will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal -3, \"1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "SO the slope of the new line is;
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point-slope form to find the equation;
\n" ); document.write( "Y-Y1=m(X-X1)
\n" ); document.write( "y-(-5)=\"1%2F3\"(x-3)
\n" ); document.write( "y+5=\"1%2F3\"x-1
\n" ); document.write( "y=\"1%2F3\"x-1-5
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation would be;
\n" ); document.write( "y=\"1%2F3\"x-6
\n" ); document.write( "Hope you understand!
\n" ); document.write( "=)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
