write an equation of the line that passes though (3,9) and is perpendicular to a lone with a slope of -3/7/ Write the answer in slope- intercept form and standard form
------------------
If it's perpendicular, the slope is the negative inverse, so m=7/3.
----------
y-y1 = m*(x-x1)
y-9 = 7/3(x-3)
y-9 = (7/3)x - 7
y = (7/3)x + 2 slope-intercept form
-----------
3y = 7x + 6
7x - 3y = -6 standard form
