If the given equation is put into the form
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+mx+%2B+b+\"
\n" ); document.write( "the slope of the other is \"+-%281%2Fm%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+7x+%2B+2y+=+69+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2y+=+-7x+%2B+69+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+-%287%2F2%29%2Ax+%2B+69%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-%281%2Fm%29+=+-%28-2%2F7%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-%281%2Fm%29+=+2%2F7+\"
\n" ); document.write( "So far I have
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+%282%2F7%29x+%2B+b+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now plug in (9,7) to find \"b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+7+=+%282%2F7%29%2A9+%2B+b+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+b+=+7+-+18%2F7+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+b+=+%28+49+-+18+%29%2F7+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+b+=+31%2F7+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+%282%2F7%29%2Ax+%2B+31%2F7+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+7y+=+2x+%2B+31+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+-+7y+=+-31+\" answer
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
