Slope of AG is \"%286-%28-2%29%29%2F%28-5-%28-1%29%29=8%2F-4=-2\";
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of any line perpendicular to AG is \"1%2F2\", which is the negative reciprocal of \"-2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you just want to graph the line asked for, you have the given point H (8,5). Plot H, and use the slope of \"1%2F2\" to find other points, and then draw the line through these points.\r
