1 y = -5 x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 1
\n" ); document.write( " y = -5 x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b, m= slope & b= y intercept
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = -5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal 1/5
\n" ); document.write( "m1*m2=-1
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of the required line will be 1/5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "m= 1/5 ,point ( 10 , 8 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "8 = 2 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= 6
\n" ); document.write( "m= 1/5
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation isy = 1/ 5 x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "m.ananth@hotmail.ca
