the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is $\"y+=+highlight_green%28m%29x+%2B+highlight%28b%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( " y = (-1/3)x + 4 Slope is (-1/3)
\n" ); document.write( "Line perpendicular to that Line is 3 (negative reciprocal)
\n" ); document.write( "***Using point-slope form, $\"y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+highlight_green%28m%29%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "y - 2 = 3(x+4)
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x + 14
\n" ); document.write( "
