\n" ); document.write( "equation y = –3x + 1 has a slope of -3,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since the equation in question is perpendicular to this equation,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it has a slope of \"1%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and it has a y intercept of (0,5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the equation will be y = \"1%2F3\"x+5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in slope y intercept format
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
