MathJax(?): Can't find handler for document MathJax(?): Can't find handler for document the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is.
y=mx+b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept
y = 8 5 x - 3 is in this form
with slope m = 8 5
given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
x m perpendicular = - 1 m
m perpendicular = - 1 8 5 = - 5 8
