The equation of line GH is y = 4x − 3. Write an equation of a line perpendicular to line GH in slope-intercept form that contains point (2, 3).
==========
GH has slope = 4
------
Every perpendicular line must have slope = -1/4
------
Form: y = mx + b
3 = (-1/4)2 + b
b = 3 + 1/2
-----
b = 7/2
-----
Equation:
y = (-1/4)x + (7/2)
