Write an equation of the line that passes through point P and is perpendicular to the line with the given equation.
---
P(2,4) ; y=-8x-3
Note:: slope = -8
slope of perpendicular:: (1/8)
----------
Form:: y = mx + b
Solve for "b"::
4 = (1/8)2 + b
-------
4 = 1/4 + b
b = 15/4
-------
Ans: y = (-1/8)x + (15/4)
