document.write( "Through: (-3,-3), perpendicular to y= -3x
\n" );
document.write( "New perpendicular Line  m = 1/3  (negative reciprocal of -3)
\n" );
document.write( " y = (1/3)x + b   |Using ordered pair (x,y):(-3-3)  to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "-3 = (1/3)*(-3) + b

document.write( "-2 = b

document.write( " y = (1/3)x -2 \n" );
