slope is -a/b =-7/1=-7
\n" ); document.write( "perpendicular slope is 1/7
\n" ); document.write( "7=3/7+b
\n" ); document.write( "49=3+7b
\n" ); document.write( "46=7b
\n" ); document.write( "46/7=b
\n" ); document.write( "y=x/7+46/7 slope intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "7y=x+46\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "7=3/7+46/7
\n" ); document.write( "49=3+46
\n" ); document.write( "ok
