Given 2x-6y=12
\n" ); document.write( " Transform the equation into slope intercept form and find the slope and y -intercept of the line.
\n" ); document.write( "6y = 2x-12
\n" ); document.write( "y = (1/3)x - 2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "slope = (1/3) ; y-intercept = -2
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " and find the equation in slope intercept form of the line that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point (-1,2).
\n" ); document.write( "slope = -3
\n" ); document.write( "Form:: y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"b\"::
\n" ); document.write( "2 = -3*-1 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = -1
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3x -1
