write an equation of the line containing the given point and perpendicular to the given line, Express your answer in the form y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "(3,7);7x+y=8
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of the given line:
\n" ); document.write( "y = -7x+8
\n" ); document.write( "slope = -7
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of any line perpendicular to the
\n" ); document.write( "given line is 1/7
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find Equation of line with slope = 1/7 and passing thru (3,7)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "7 = (1/7)3 + b
\n" ); document.write( "49/7 = 3/7 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 46/7
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (1/7)x+(46/7)
