I'm assuming there shouldn't be a \"y\" after the 7 on the right hand side.

\n" ); document.write( "\"4x%2B3y=7\"
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope.
\n" ); document.write( "\"3y=-4x%2B7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%284%2F3%29x%2B7%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals,

\n" ); document.write( "\"m%5BP%5D=3%2F4\"
