Solve the given equation for y. Then take the negative reciprocal of the resulting coefficient on the x term, call this $\"m%5B2%5D\"$ . Substitute $\"m%5B2%5D\"$ in $\"y-%28-5%29=m%5B2%5D%28x-9%29\"$ . Distribute, rearrange, and collect terms to put your equation in standard form, i.e. $\"ax%2Bby=z\"$ . If necessary, multiply the equation by any denominators that appear in non-integer coefficients. \n" ); document.write( "
