You can put this solution on YOUR website!
step 1 - solve the equation for y. That is already done and given as
\n" ); document.write( "(i) \"y+=+3x+%2B+4\"
\n" ); document.write( "step 2 - find the slope of (i) and we get m = 3.
\n" ); document.write( "step 3 find perpendicular slope. m = 3, so perpendicular means flip and change sign. Perp m = -1/3.
\n" ); document.write( "step 4 - using new slope and (6,-2) we put that information into
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx%2B+b\"to get
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2+=+%28-1%2F3%29%2A6+%2B+b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2+=+-2+%2B+b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "step 5 - write the answer as
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%28-1%2F3%29x+%2B+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
