Algebra.Com's Answer #257957 by mananth(16946)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! write an equation for the line through the point (1,1) and perpendicular to the line 2x+y=9 \n" ); document.write( "2x+y=9 \n" ); document.write( "add -2x \n" ); document.write( "y=-2x+9 \n" ); document.write( "compare this with slope m of y = mx+b \n" ); document.write( "m=-2 the slope \n" ); document.write( "slope of perpendicular line = 1/2 \n" ); document.write( "... \n" ); document.write( "equation of line \n" ); document.write( "y-y1=1/2(x-x1) \n" ); document.write( "y-1=1/2(x-1) \n" ); document.write( "2(y-1)=x-1 \n" ); document.write( "2y-2=x-1 \n" ); document.write( "add2 \n" ); document.write( "2y=x-1+2 \n" ); document.write( "2y=x+1 \n" ); document.write( "y=x/2 +1/2 is the line \n" ); document.write( "... \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
