MathJax(?): Can't find handler for document MathJax(?): Can't find handler for document If a line has a slope of m

then any line perpendicular to it has a slope of ( - 1 m )

A line through (−9,5) and (2,−43) has a slope of
XXX m = Δ y Δ x = 5 - ( - 43 ) - 9 - 2 = - 48 11

So any line perpendicular to this has a slope of
XXX 11 48
