document.write( "Question 760005: hi so I have this question im stuck on I have to write an equation for a perpendicular slope \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3,-5 2x+5y=6 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so I changed it into y= 2x/5 + 6/5 then I got the reciprocal which is 5/2 then I put it into this formula y-y1=m(x-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "so then I got y-(-5)=5/2(x-3)
\n" ); document.write( " so now this is where I get stuck I cant figure out the distbutive property part after I get 5/2 im not sure how to multiply 5/2 * 3 if you could help me figure this part be a big help
\n" ); document.write( "

( 3, -5 )
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+%2B+5y+=+6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5y+=+-2x+%2B+6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+%28-2%2F5%29%2Ax+%2B+6%2F5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a perpendicular will be \"+5%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+y+-%28-5%29+%29+%2F+%28+x+-+3+%29+=+5%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+y+%2B+5+%29+%2F+%28+x+-+3+%29+=+5%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"+2%2A%28+x-3+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2%2A%28+y+%2B+5+%29+=+5%2A%28+x+-+3+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2y+%2B+10+=+5x+-+15+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2y+=+5x+-+25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+%285%2F2%29%2Ax+-+25%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "Does it go through ( 3, -5 ) ?
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-5+=+%285%2F2%29%2A3+-+25%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-10+=+15+-+25+\"

\n" ); document.write( "OK
