Perpendicular to the graph of 4x-y=12 and passes through (8,2)
The slopes of Perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals;
first lets put the equation in standard form;
4x-y=12
-y=-4x+12
y=4x-12; so the slope of this line is 4;
The slope of the perpendicular line is
Now that we have the slope we use the point-slope form to find the equation;

; equation of perpendicular line

From we can see that slope
Therefore the perpendicular line has slope
If you use � , you will have:
now you can simplify it
