Write an equation of a line perpendicular to line 7x - 2y = 3 in slope-intercept form that passes through the point (-1, 6).
7x-2y= 3 re arrange
2y = 7x-3
y = 7/2 x - 3/2 slope , m = 7/2
perpindicular slope = - 1/m = - 2/7
y = -2/7 x + b sub in the point given
6 = - 2/7 (-1) + b show b = 5 5/7
y = -2/7 x + 5 5/7
