The problem says: passes through (3,2),perpendicular to the graph of 4x-3y=12
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of the given equation, put it in the slope intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "4x - 3y = 12
\n" ); document.write( "-3y = -4x + 12
\n" ); document.write( "we want y to be positive, multiply equation by -1
\n" ); document.write( "3y = 4x - 12
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 3
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"4%2F3\"x - 4
\n" ); document.write( "slope (m1) = 4/3
\n" ); document.write( "the relationship of slope of perpendicular lines m1 * m2 = -1, find m2 when
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2F3\"* m2 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "m2 = -1 * \"3%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "m2 = \"-3%2F4\" is the slope of the perpendicular line
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find slope intercept form of this line; y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "x=3, y=2, m= -3/4, find b
\n" ); document.write( "2 = \"-3%2F4\"(3) + b
\n" ); document.write( "2 = \"-9%2F4\" + b
\n" ); document.write( "2 = -2.25 + b
\n" ); document.write( "2 + 2.25 = b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 4.25
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"-3%2F4\"x + 4.25 is the equation of the perpendicular line (Red)
\n" ); document.write( ":
