find the slope intercept form of a line that is perpendicular to the line
\n" ); document.write( "2x-7y=3 and has a x intercept of 4
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of the given line::
\n" ); document.write( "7y = 2x-3
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "y = (2/7)x - (3/7)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "slope = 2/7
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of the perpendicular line::
\n" ); document.write( "Ans -7/2
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Find the equation of the perpendicular line::
\n" ); document.write( "slope = -7/2 and passes thru (4,0)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Form:: y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"b\"::
\n" ); document.write( "0 = (-7/2)4 + b
\n" ); document.write( "0 = -14 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 14
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: y = (-7/2)x + 14
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
