5 x + 6 y = 14
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of this line
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "6 y = -5 x + 14
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 1
\n" ); document.write( " y = - 5/ 6 x + 7/3
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b, m= slope & b= y intercept
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = - 5/6
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal 6/5
\n" ); document.write( "m1*m2=-1
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
