contain point (c,d) perpendicular to y=mx+b\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "want a slope \"m%2Ag=-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"g=-1%2Fm\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using given point, if (c,d)
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28-1%2Fm%29x%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d=-%281%2Fm%29c%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=d%2B%281%2Fm%29c\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Put it all together,
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%281%2Fm%29x%2Bd%2Bc%2Fm\"
\n" ); document.write( "You can plug in the given numbers for the variables and get your specific equation.
