slope of the second line is the negative reciprocal of the given line or 9/5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "use slope intercept formula
\n" ); document.write( "y-y1=m(x-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "y+4=(9/5)(x+5)
\n" ); document.write( "y+4=(9/5)x+9
\n" ); document.write( "y=(9/5)x + 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In the graph, it is the line going up and to the right, with y-intercept +5.\r
