Write the slope-intercept equation of a function f whose graph satisfies the given conditions.  Simplify any fractions as much as possible and do not use decimals.  The graph of f passes through (-7, 6) and is perpendicular to the line that has an x-intercept of 6 and a  y-intercept of -36.

Well, Welcome to OpenStudy ^_^
I'll see if I can help you :)

well first, try to find the slope of the "perpendicular line" that has points (6, 0) and (0, -36)
could you do that? :3
$$slope = \frac{ rise }{ run } = \frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }$$when given points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
