A calculator to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to a given line and passing through a point.
How to use the calculator
1 - Enter the parameters a, b and c, where a, b and c are the coefficients of the the given line defined as follows.
a*x + b*y = c
2 - Then enter the point (xcoord , ycoord) through which the line passes.
3 - press "enter". The answer is an equation, in slope intercept form, of the line perpendicular to the line entered and passing through the point (xcoord , ycoord) .
Notes:
1 - That if you enter a = 0 and b = 0, no answer is given by the calculator.
2 - That if you enter a = 0 and b not equal to zero 0, the equation of the line is of the form x = constant = xcoord.
