(1) Find midpoint.
(2) Find slope for the two given points.
(3) form the negative reciprocal of that slope.
(4) Form the equation in point-slope format using the found slope in step (3) and the point in step (1).

slope of a line between these two is -8/2=-4
point slope formula
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y+4=-4(x-4)
y+4=-4x+16
y=-4x+12
midpoint of this line is (3,0) since you average the x and y values.
I need a line with a slop of (1/4) the negative reciprocal of the slope of the first line, and it must go through (3,0)
y-0=(1/4)(x-3)
y=(1/4)x-(3/4)
