Find the slope of the line by putting it into slope-intercept form, \"y=mx%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"9x%2B8y=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8y=-9x%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%289%2F8%29x%2B5%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals,
\n" ); document.write( "\"m1%2Am2=-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-%289%2F8%29%2Am2%2B-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m2=8%2F9\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The new line will have the equation,
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%288%2F9%29x%2Bb\" Use the point (0,-7) to solve for b.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-7=%288%2F9%29%280%29%2Bb\"
