<span> y = 2/7 x - 1/7 slope = 2/7 </span><span>perpendicular lines, slope is opposite and reciprocal </span>so slope of new line = -7/2 <span>passes through the point (9,-32) </span><span>slope-intercept form: y = mx + b so b = y - mx b = -32 - (-7/2)(9) b = -32 + 63/2 b = -1/2
equation in </span>slope-intercept form: y = -7/2 x - 1/2
