the slope of the line is 7/5, so the slope of the line perpendicular to it is -5/7, the negative reciprocal.
\n" ); document.write( "point slope formula y-y1=m(x-x1), m slope, (x1, y1) point
\n" ); document.write( "y-3=(-5/7)(x-2)
\n" ); document.write( "y-3=-(5/7)x+10/7
\n" ); document.write( "y=(-5/7)x+31/7
