A method that always works is to find the slope of the given line, then find the negative reciprocal of that. Your result will be the slope of the perpendicular line. Using this slope and the given point, fill in the parameters of the point-slope form of the equation of a line.

For m = slope of given line and (h, k) = given point, the perpendicular line will be
  y = (-1/m)(x -h) +k

Often, this equation can be simplified to another appropriate form, such as slope-intercept form (y = mx+b) or standard form (ax+by=c).

_____
The slope of a given line can be found by solving its equation for y. The slope is the coefficient of x in that solution. If the given line is characterized by two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), then its slope is m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

In the unusual case where the given line is vertical (x=<some constant>), the slope of the perpendicular line is zero, and the line you want becomes y=k.

11. Explain how to evaluate the expression 9 +(45 x 2) = 10.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The Answer Is 18

Order Of Operation laws says that you must do the parentheses first, 45x2.

45x2=90

The next thing you must do is divide 90 by 10 since division is before addition.

90/10=9

Now combine like terms.

9+9=18
