\n" ); document.write( "y=-5x/2+14/2
\n" ); document.write( "y=-5x/2+7 (red line) with a slope=-5/2
\n" ); document.write( "the perpendicular line has a slope of 2/5 through (1,-3)
\n" ); document.write( "Y=mX+b
\n" ); document.write( "-3=2/5*1+b
\n" ); document.write( "-3=2/5+b

\n" ); document.write( "b=(-13-2)/5
\n" ); document.write( "b=-15/5
\n" ); document.write( "b=-3 for the y intercept for this line with a slope=2/5
\n" ); document.write( "y=2x/5-3 (green line)
