Find the equation of the line using the point-slope formula. Write the final equation using the slope-intercept form.
\n" ); document.write( "perpendicular to
\n" ); document.write( "8y = x − 4
\n" ); document.write( "and passes through the point
\n" ); document.write( "(−2, 1)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Do it like this one:
\n" ); document.write( "=====================
\n" ); document.write( "perpendicular to
\n" ); document.write( "6y = x − 3 and passes through the point (−4,1)
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of 6y = x-3
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for y:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (1/6)x - 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "Slope = 1/6
\n" ); document.write( "Slopes perpendicular are the negative inverse
\n" ); document.write( "m = -6
\n" ); document.write( "=========
\n" ); document.write( "Use y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is the point
\n" ); document.write( "y-1 = -6*(x+4) = -6x - 24
\n" ); document.write( "y = -6x - 23
\n" ); document.write( "====================================
\n" ); document.write( "This is basic. It's like 2+2.
\n" ); document.write( "Know it. If you don't, things will get a LOT worse.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
