First find the line it's perpendicular to,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F3-y%2F9=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2F9=x%2F3-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=3x-9\"
\n" ); document.write( "This line has a slope of \"m=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals,
\n" ); document.write( "\"m1%2Am2=-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2Am2=-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m2=-1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point-slope form of a line with point (-5,6) and slope (m=1/3)
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-yp=m%28x-xp%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-6=%28-1%2F3%29%28x-%28-5%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-6=-%281%2F3%29x-5%2F3\"
