Ok again I am stumped by this ; Write the slope-intercept equation for the line that passes through (-8, -11) and is perpendicular to -2x – 7y = -14\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " -2x-7y=-14
\n" ); document.write( "convert to standard form, y=mx+b, m=slope and b=y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "7y=-2x+14
\n" ); document.write( " y=(-2/7)x+2
\n" ); document.write( " slope =-2/7
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "slope of equation perpendicular to first equation is equal to its negative reciprocal=7/2
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "using point (-8,-11) to solve for b
\n" ); document.write( "-8=(7/2)(11)+b
\n" ); document.write( "-16=77+2b

\n" ); document.write( "b=93/2
\n" ); document.write( "Equation of line:
