Starting with x - 3y = 9
\n" ); document.write( "find the slope
\n" ); document.write( "3y = x - 9
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"%281%2F3%29x+-+3\"
\n" ); document.write( "slope is \"1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "A perpendicular line will have a negative inverse/reciprocal slope of \"-3\"
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Use the slope and the point (4, 1) in the point-slope formula
\n" ); document.write( "y - 1 = -3(x-4)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 1 = -3x + 12
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28y+=+-3x+%2B+13%29\"
