Question 699796
1	y  	=	-3      	x		-7    				
Divide by	1									
	y  	=	-3      	x	+	-7    				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b,					m= slope & b= y intercept					
slope m =	-3    									
										
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal										 1/3
Because m1*m2 =-1										
The slope of the required line will be			 1/3							
										
m=	 1/3	,point	(	3	,	-2	)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
-2	=	1      	+	b						
b=	-3    									
m=	 1/3									
The required equation is		y  	=	  1/ 3	x		-3
