The line x-5y=3 may be written as 5y=x-3 or y= (1/5)x-(3/5), slope -intercept form. The slope of the line perpendicular to this line is the negative reciprocal of the coefficient of x. That is the negative reciprocal of (1/5). To find that, flip the fraction and change the sign. It is therefore -5.
\n" ); document.write( "point slope form of the line that goes through (4,-8) perpendicular to the line given has slope -5
\n" ); document.write( "y-(-8)=-5(x-4)
\n" ); document.write( "y+8=5(x-4) That is point-slope form
\n" ); document.write( "y=5x-20-8
\n" ); document.write( "y=5x-28 That is slope-intercept form.
\n" ); document.write( "Graph doesn't show x and y the same interval for each.
