write an equation in standard form of the line that contains the
\n" ); document.write( " point (-1, 2) and is perpendicular to the line y=3x-1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "slope of the equation, m1 = 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The relationship of slopes of perpendicular lines: m1*m2 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "3*m2 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "m2 = \"-1%2F3\" is the slope of the perpendicular line
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use point slope form to find the equation of the line, y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "where m2=\"-1%2F3\", x1=-1, y1=2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y - 2 = \"-1%2F3\"(x - (-1))
\n" ); document.write( "y - 2 = \"-1%2F3\"(x + 1)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 2 = \"-1%2F3\"x - \"1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"-1%2F3\"x - \"1%2F3\" + 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"-1%2F3\"x - \"1%2F3\" + \"6%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"-1%2F3\"x + \"5%2F3\"; is the equation of the perpendicular line
\n" ); document.write( "But they want it in the standard form
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by 3, to get rid of the denominators
\n" ); document.write( "3y = -x + 5
\n" ); document.write( "x + 3y = 5; is the standard form
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "looks like this
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+300%2C+300%2C+-5%2C+5%2C+-4%2C+4%2C+3x-1%2C+%28-1%2F3%29x%2B%285%2F3%29%29+\"
