g(x) has slope 2.
\n" ); document.write( "A perpendicular line to g(x) will have slope -(1/2).
\n" ); document.write( "The perpendicular line is like \"h%28x%29=-x%2F2%2Bb\"; and b is unknown.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "h(x) is given to hold a point, (7,1).
\n" ); document.write( "\"h%28x%29%2Bx%2F2=b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=1%2B7%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=2%2F2%2B7%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=9%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The equation or FUNCTION for the requested line is \"h%28x%29=-x%2F2%2B9%2F2\"
