You can put this solution on YOUR website!
As a formula? Try this.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Given y=mx+b, find the equation of a line perpendicular to it which contains the point (u,v).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You want a line \"y=-%281%2Fm%29x%2Bk\", and to find this k, the y-intercept, solve for k.
\n" ); document.write( "\"k=y-%28-%281%2Fm%29%29x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"k=y%2B%281%2Fm%29x\"
\n" ); document.write( "We are accepting (u,v) as a specific, given point.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use (u,v) to find k.
\n" ); document.write( "\"k=v%2B%281%2Fm%29%2Au\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using these we put together our wanted line's equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%281%2Fm%29x%2B%28v%2B%281%2Fm%29u%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=-%281%2Fm%29x%2B%28v%2Bu%2Fm%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "This formula could be simplified further if you want:
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=-%281%2Fm%29x%2B%28vm%2Bu%29%2Fm%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
