Same problem, different numbers

\n" ); document.write( "Find the equation of the line that contains the point P(-2,0)
\n" ); document.write( " and is perpendicular to the graph of y=2/3x-3
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of y = (2/3)x-3 is 2/3
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse, -3/2
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Use \"y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+m%2A%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29\" where (x1,y1) is the point.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y-0 = (-3/2)*(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-3/2)*(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "
