A software designer is mapping the streets for a new racing game. All of the streets are depicted as either perpendicular or par

The equation of the line segment through A and B is given as
-7x + 3y = -21.5

In standard form,
3y = 7x - 21.5
  y = (7/3)x - 7.1667
Line AB has a slope of 7/3.

Let the equation of line segment PQ be
y = mx + b

Because line segments AB and PQ are perpendicular, therefore
(7/3)*m = -1
m = -3/7

The equation of PQ is 
y = -(3/7)x + b
To find b, note that the line passes through the point (7,6). Therefore
6 = -(3/7)*7 + b
6 = -3 + b
b = 9
The equation of PQ is
y = - (3/7)x + 9
or
7y = -3x + 63
3x + 7y = 63

Answer: 3x + 7y = 63

Step-by-step explanation:

Does an ice cube weigh the same when melted? - Quora. , Energy Analyst and “Futurist”. Obviously, the mass of the water is the same as the ice from whence it came, assuming no evaporation. However, the volume shrank as it melted; became more dense, and therefore displaced less air.
