You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=4x-3
\n" ); document.write( "slope is 4
\n" ); document.write( "perpendicular slope is -1/4
\n" ); document.write( "6=-1/4(-5)+b
\n" ); document.write( "6=-5/4+b
\n" ); document.write( "6+5/4=b
\n" ); document.write( "29/4=b
\n" ); document.write( "7 1/4=b
\n" ); document.write( "any of three following equations will be the line perpendicular
\n" ); document.write( "y=-1/4x+7 1/4
\n" ); document.write( "4y=-x+29
\n" ); document.write( "x+4y=29\r
