You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Lines that are perpendicular to one another
\n" ); document.write( "have slopes (gradients) that multiply together
\n" ); document.write( "to give -1
\n" ); document.write( "m1 * m2 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "Assuming your equation is:
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2/5x - 3
\n" ); document.write( "Gradient (slope) = 2/5
\n" ); document.write( "m1 * m2 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "2/5 * m2 = -1
\n" ); document.write( " m2 = -5/2
\n" ); document.write( "Using equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + c
\n" ); document.write( "m = -5/2 and c = 1
\n" ); document.write( "y = -5/2x + 1
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
