Sorry for the hand writing. But you want to factor out a 4y^2 which will result in (9y^2-1). Then you will factor out the equation in parentheses to (3y-1)(3y+1). Don’t forget to put the 4y^2 out front!
This is the concept of algebra, to get the slope of the line we need to rewrite the equation in slope intercept form y=mx+c, where m=slope, c=y-intercept.
Therefore re-writing our expression in slope-intercept form we get:
7x-3y=10
-3y=-7x+10
y=7/3x-10/3
The slope=7/3
hence we conclude that the slope of the line perpendicular to this is -3/7
-2 < -3 (I think so anyway)

While evaporation is happening, the temperature is slowing cooling down due to not as much water in the pot that is holding the water. If you have ever taken boiling hot water and dumped half of it out, and immediately put it back on the stove, it doesn't start boiling right away. It takes minutes to heat it back up to that boiling temperature.</span>
