Hi
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
7x + 63y = 9 |solving for y to put into the slope-intercept form to find m
y = -(1/9)x + 1/7 | m = -(1/9)
Lines perpendicular will have a slope m = 9 (the negative reciprocal of -(1/9))
