\n" );
document.write( "line perpendicular to y = 1/3x+5  through (2, 1) 
\n" );
document.write( " m = -3
\n" );
document.write( "y= -3x + b
\n" );
document.write( "1 = -3*2 + b    ||Using (x,y)ordered pair(2,1) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "7 = b
\n" );
document.write( " y = -3x + 7 \n" );
