What is this? p= -(1,2)
\n" ); document.write( "Do you mean this: p=(-1,-2) ?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Assuming so, slope is vertical change divided by horizontal change.
\n" ); document.write( "Let this slope be m.
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-2-4%29%2F%28-1-2%29=3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let \"m%5Bo%5D\" = the slope for a line perpendicular to the line of slope m.
\n" ); document.write( "\"m%2Am%5Bo%5D=-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2Am%5Bo%5D=-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "Find \"m%5Bo%5D\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
