4 x -3 y = 5
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of this line
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "-3 y = -4 x + 5
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by -3
\n" ); document.write( " y = 4/3 x -1.67
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = 4/3
\n" ); document.write( "m1*m2=-1
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal -3/4
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
