You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Parallel lines have the SAME slope.
\n" ); document.write( "In y = -7x +5, the slope is -7
\n" ); document.write( "(compare to y = mx + b, where m is the slope)
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Perpendicular lines will have the a negative inverse slope of \"1%2F7\".
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Choose a point on the line y = -7x + 5
\n" ); document.write( "pick any x and solve for y
\n" ); document.write( "if x = 1
\n" ); document.write( "y = -7(1) + 5
\n" ); document.write( "y = -7 + 5 = -2
\n" ); document.write( "(1, -2)
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Using the point (1, -2) and the slope -7, you can find an equation for a parallel line
\n" ); document.write( "y - -2 = -7(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "y + 2 = -7x + 7
\n" ); document.write( "y = -7x + 7 - 2
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28y=-7x%2B5%29\" ==> equation for a parallel line
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Using the point (1, -2) and the slope of \"1%2F7\", you can find an equation for a perpendicular line
\n" ); document.write( "y - -2 = \"1%2F7\"(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "y + 2 = \"%281%2F7%29x+-+1%2F7\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"%281%2F7%29x+-+%281%2F7%29-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"%281%2F7%29x+-+1%2F7+-+2%287%2F7%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"%281%2F7%29x+-+1%2F7+-+14%2F7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28y=%281%2F7%29x+-+15%2F7%29\" ==> equation for a perpendicular line
