You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x intercept is same as the line 2x+ y=4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For x-intercept, y=0
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting , this in the above equation,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x +0=4
\n" ); document.write( "x=2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(2,0) is the x-intercept.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The line is perpendicular to 6x+ 2y=-10
\n" ); document.write( "or 2y= -6x -10
\n" ); document.write( "or y=-3x -5.
\n" ); document.write( "Slope of the line is -3 ( y=mx +c where m is the slope)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Slope of line perpendicular to this line be m
\n" ); document.write( "m* -3 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "or m= $\"1%2F3\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "there eqn of line the passes thru (2,0) and slope $\"1%2F3\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y-0 = $\"1%2F3\"$ (x-2)
\n" ); document.write( "3y=x-2
\n" ); document.write( "or x- 3y =2 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
