document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "Line Perpendicular to the graph of  y=1/3x+7; y-intercept (0,5)
\n" );
document.write( "New Line with slope m.  
\n" );
document.write( "Yes!  ,  m = -3
\n" );
document.write( "Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
\n" );
document.write( "  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
\n" );
document.write( "y = -3x + 5       or in standard form: 3x-y = 5
\n" );
document.write( " 
\n" );
document.write( "  \n" );
document.write( "
