You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Start this in point-slope form as given but then transform into standard form.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The perpendicular line will have slope \"1%2F4\" so the line still in point slope form that you want is \"y-1=%281%2F4%29%28x-5%29\";\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4y-4%2A1=x-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4y-4=x-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-5=4y-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-4y-5=-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-4y=-4%2B5\"
