document.write( "Hi
\n" );
document.write( "Find an equation of the line containing the point (6,9)
\n" );
document.write( " y = -9x + 8         | Yes same as 9x+y=8 
\n" );
document.write( "\"If\" the new line is to be 'perpendicular' to the above..then Yes, its slope = 1/9
\n" );
document.write( "New Line:
\n" );
document.write( "y-9=1/9(x-6)         | Yes.   
\n" );
document.write( "y =1/9(x-6) + 9
\n" );
document.write( "y = 1/9(x) - 6/9 + 9
\n" );
document.write( "y= (1/9)x + 75/9    OR x-9y = -75 \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
