\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of the perpendicular line.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For two lines to be perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m%5B2%5D+=+-1%2Fm%5B1%5D\"
\n" ); document.write( "Or in your case
\n" ); document.write( "\"m%5B2%5D+=+-%281%2F%28-11%2F12%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m%5B2%5D+=+12%2F11\"
\n" ); document.write( "Since you didn't specify any points for the perpindicular line to pass through, you can choose the origin (0,0) as a point on the line. The slope-intercept form of the line equation is
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=m%5B2%5D%2Ax%2Bb%5B2%5D\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0=%2812%2F11%29%2A0%2Bb%5B2%5D\" Slope is 12/11 from above and (0,0) is a point on the line.
\n" ); document.write( "\"b%5B2%5D=0\" Solve for \"b%5B2%5D\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%2812%2F11%29%2Ax\"
