Answer:

y=-2/7x+6

Explanation:

first write this in y=mx+b format, y=7/2x−2

then write the perpendicular line, which is the opposite & negative of m

y=−2/7x-2

then remove b

y=−2/7x+b

plug in the numbers

(7,4) y= 4 x=7

4=-2/7*7+b

b is 6

so put the numbers back in

y=-2/7x+6

hope this helps and have a great day
