\n" ); document.write( "1)We have to remember when 2 lines are perpendicular, the \"slope=m%5B2%5D\" of the other one is \"negative reciprocal\" of the 1st :------>\"m2=-1%2Fm%5B1%5D\"
\n" ); document.write( "Arranging Line \"y-2x%2B5\" via Slope-intercept form, \"y=mx%2Bb\":
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=2x%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "We can see it has a \"Slope=m%5B1%5D=2\", then the line that passes thru point (-1,3) has a slope:
\n" ); document.write( "\"m%5B2%5D=-1%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Via Slope-intercept Form: point (-1,3)
\n" ); document.write( "\"3=%28-1%2F2%29%28-1%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3=%281%2F2%29%2Bb\"---->\"b=3-%281%2F2%29=%286-1%29%2F2=5%2F2\", Y-Intercept
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, line eqn. \"y=%28-1%2F2%29x%2B%285%2F2%29\" ----> \"y%2B%281%2F2%29x=5%2F2\" (Standard form) passes thru point (-1,3) and perpendicular to line \"y-2x=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "we'll see:
\n" ); document.write( "-----> RED Line>>>> \"y=2x%2B5\"; GREEN Line>>>> \"y%2B%281%2F2%29x=5%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2)Sketch a graph for a quadratic function given as below:
\n" ); document.write( "\"f+%28x%29+=+x%B2+-+x+-+6\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solving the quadratic:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-x-6=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "where\"system%28a=1%2Cb=-1%2Cc-6%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%281%2B-sqrt%281%2B24%29%29%2F2=%281%2B-sqrt%2825%29%29%2F2\"
