The slope of a line with equation \"y=mx%2Bb\" is \"m\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "so the slope of a line with equation \"y=%28-1%2F2%29x-3\" is ,
\n" ); document.write( "so for a line perpendicular to slope of a line with equation \"y=mx%2Bb\" , \"%28-1%2F2%29m=-1\" ---> \"m=2\" .
\n" ); document.write( "A line with slope \"m\" passing through point \"P%28x%5BP%5D%2Cy%5BP%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "has the equation \"y=y%5BP%5D=m%28x=x%5BP%5D%29\" (in point-slope form),
\n" ); document.write( "so the line passing through (10,10) and perpendicular to the line described by \"y=%28-1%2F2%29x-3\"
\n" ); document.write( "has the equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y-10=2%28x-10%29%29\" <---> \"highlight%28y=2x-10%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
