<h2>Answer:</h2>

First we must find the opposite-reciprocal of the original slope.

current slope: \frac{7}{3}

new slope: -\frac{3}{7}

Using the new slope and the given point, we will plug them into slope-intercept form and solve for b, the y-intercept.

9 = -\frac{3}{7}(-4) + b\\\\9 = \frac{12}{7} + b\\\\-\frac{51}{7} = b

The y-intercept is -\frac{51}{7}.

Now, we can write the formula for the new line.

Slope-intercept form: y = -\frac{3}{7}x - \frac{51}{7}

Point-slope form: y - 9 = -\frac{3}{7}(x + 4)

Did I do the problem -2x+10=-2(x+5) ? If not plz explain and answerthxx
Citrus2011 [14]
So when you opened up the parenthesis on the right side of the question, you added -2 to 5 instead of multiplying. Since there is no addition sign in between -2 and the parenthesis, it should be multiplication, so -2x  + -10.

So now the answer would be 10 = -10.

Which leads me to believe that this question wasn't written correctly because 10 does not equal -10 for sure.
