<PRE><B>Question 437402</B>
Write an equation of the line containing the given point and perpendicular to the given line. 
(0,9) 4x+7y=2
---
Find the slope of the given line:
y = (-4/7)x+(2/7)
slope = -4/7
----------------------
Any perpendicular line must have slope = 7/4
-------
y-intercept is 9
-----
Required equation is y = (7/4)x+9
