use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form and slope intercept form passing through (5,-9) and perpendicular to the line whose equation is x+2y=5
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "The given line:
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2y = 5
\n" ); document.write( "2y = -x + 5
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-1/2)x + (5/2)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "slope = -1/2
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Perpendicular line:
\n" ); document.write( "slope = 2
\n" ); document.write( "point: (5,-9)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Form: y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"b\":
\n" ); document.write( "-9 = 2*5 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = -19
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x - 19
