Lesson Description:

Using point slope form find a perpendicular line through a point

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.

Questions answered by this video:
  • How do I find the equation of a line when I am given a point on the line and the equation of a line that is perpendicular to my line?
  • What is the equation of the line that passes through (-7,-4) and is perpendicular to y=(1/2)x+9?

    In this lesson, the teacher shows how to find the equation of a line when you know one point on the line, and you know the equation of another line that is perpendicular to the line you are trying to find.
