$\"+5y+=+x+%2B+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+%281%2F5%29%2Ax+%2B+2%2F5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Any line perpendicular to this line will have slope = $\"+-1%2Fm+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "where $\"+m+\"$ is the slope of the given line. In this case, $\"+m+=+1%2F5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-1%2Fm+=+-5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now given ( 2,0 ) and $\"+m+=+-5+\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "I can write the general point-slope formula:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+y+-+0+%29+%2F+%28+x+-+2+%29+=+-5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+-5%2A%28+x+-+2+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+-5x+%2B+10+\"$ answer
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "Does it go through (2,0) ?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+0+=+-5%2A2+%2B+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+0+=+-10+%2B+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+0+=+0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
