Write the equation of the line perpendicular to 3y -x = 2 and passing through (9, -10)
\n" ); document.write( "

To obtain the equation of a line that's perpendicular to another, we do the following: 
\n" );
document.write( "1) Put GIVEN equation in STANDARD form
\n" );
document.write( "2) Switch coefficients on variables, and change the constant to z
\n" );
document.write( "3) Negate y
\n" );
document.write( "4) Substitute GIVEN point to determine z
\n" );
document.write( "These steps should lead you to the required equation:  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
