You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you need to find the slope of the equation given, then reverse the slope to get the perpendicular line and use the point to solve for b.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4y-5=3x\" put in slope intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4y=3x%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28-3%2F4%29x-5%2F4\" y=mx+b so m=\"-3%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "Find perpendicular line:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx%2Bb\" with point (6,5)
\n" ); document.write( "\"5=%28-4%2F3%29%286%29%2Bb\" find b
\n" ); document.write( "\"5=-8%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"13=b\"
\n" ); document.write( "new line looks like:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28-4%2F3%29x%2B13\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
