Slope intercept form is,
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "A line perpendicular to that line would have a slope of,
\n" ); document.write( "\"m%5Bp%5D=-1%2Fm\"
\n" ); document.write( "since perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals.
\n" ); document.write( "Then to get three lines that are perpendicular choose 3 different y-intercepts.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%281%2Fm%29x%2Ba\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%281%2Fm%29x%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%281%2Fm%29x%2Bc\"
\n" ); document.write( "where \"a%3C%3Eb%3C%3Ec\"
\n" ); document.write( "Example: Given \"y=2x%2B5\", three perpendicular lines would be,
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-x%2F2%2B1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-x%2F2%2B4\"
