A + b + c = 72
a = b - 1
c = b + 1
(b - 1) + b + (b + 1) = 72
Simplify
3b = 72
b = 24
a = 24 - 1
a = 23
here the equation of path is -2x-7=y
let us find slope of this line by using y=mx+b
so slope m=-2
now new path is perpendicular to this path.
product of slopes of perpendiculars is -1
so slope of new path is 1/2
now it passes through (-2,-3) with slope 1/2
using y=mx+b to get value of b
-3=1/2(-2) +b
b=-2
plugging m=-1/2 and b=-2 in y=mx + b to get the final equation as
y=(-1/2) x -2 is the equation of new path
