Question

What is the equation in standard form of a perpendicular line that passes through (5,1)?

Answer 1

y-y_1=-(1/m)(x-x_1)
substitute the value of y and x to the formula and then solve

Answer 2

I dont need to solve I need it in standard form now.

Answer 3

but thing is its not just one line its a family of lines so the perpendicular lines must be a family too and this is the equation for that

Answer 4

the same as that way,,after u solve,,u can derive your answer in standard form

Answer 5

Can you help me solve it. I'm quite confused.
