Check your document! The problem should say, "through line with the equation y=(1/2)x-2/7, and perpendicular to line with equation 4x-8y=1. If that were what the description were intended to mean, it still seems strange.

Perpendicular to 4x-8y=1, would be something of the form ,


and for that, you can let c be any real number. The line and equation found will be perpendicular to .
