\n" ); document.write( "any line perpendicular to this line will have
\n" ); document.write( "a slope equal to \"+-1%2Fm+\"
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+m+=+5%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "slope of perpendicular line =
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-2%2F5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "
