Algebra.Com's Answer #238098 by mananth(16946) You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=-2x \n" ); document.write( "so slope = -2 \n" ); document.write( ".. \n" ); document.write( "the line perpendicular to this line will have slope of 1/2 ( negative reciprocal) \n" ); document.write( ".. \n" ); document.write( "this line passes through (0,5) \n" ); document.write( "y= mx+b \n" ); document.write( "5=0+b \n" ); document.write( "b= 5 the intercept.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".. \n" ); document.write( "y=(1/2)x+5 is the required line (red) \n" ); document.write( ".. \n" ); document.write( " |
