Perpendicular Line Y Coordinate Through a Supplied Point Calculator
Perpendicular Line Y Coordinate Through a Supplied Point. Example: Point x: 2 number, Point y: 3 number, Reference slope: 2 number, X: 5 number gives 1.5 number. Positive reference slope only; numerical y on desired perpendicular line; horizontal/vertical reference lines excluded. Only this original stated job is proposed, not full historical source coverage.

Positive reference slope only; numerical y on desired perpendicular line; horizontal/vertical reference lines excluded. Only this original stated job is proposed, not full historical source coverage. Input domains and output unit must be visible. Derivation: Orthogonal direction slopes multiply to-1.
Accepted inputs: Point x: -10,000 to 10,000 number; Point y: -10,000 to 10,000 number; Reference slope: 0.001 to 10,000 number; X: -10,000 to 10,000 number.
Perpendicular Line Y Coordinate Through a Supplied Point
How the calculation works
perpendicular y=y0-(x-x0)/reference slope
Worked example
With point x 2 number, point y 3 number, reference slope 2 number, x 5 number, perpendicular line y coordinate through a supplied point is 1.5 number.
Assumptions and limits
Positive reference slope only; numerical y on desired perpendicular line; horizontal/vertical reference lines excluded. Only this original stated job is proposed, not full historical source coverage. Input domains and output unit must be visible. Derivation: Orthogonal direction slopes multiply to-1.
