MathJax(?): Can't find handler for document MathJax(?): Can't find handler for document to calculate the slope m use the gradient formula
x m = y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1
let ( x 1 , y 1 ) = ( 15 , - 12 ) and ( x 2 , y 2 ) = ( 30 , 34 )
m = 34 - ( - 12 ) 30 - 15 = 46 15
the slope of any line perpendicular to it is
x m perpendicular = - 1 m
m perpendicular = - 1 46 15 = - 15 46
