l1 : -3y = 24x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "y=24x/-3+6/-3
\n" ); document.write( "y=-8x+2 (red line) this line has a slope=-8
\n" ); document.write( "l2 : x-8y = -12
\n" ); document.write( "-8y=-x-12
\n" ); document.write( "y=-x/-8-12/-8
\n" ); document.write( "y=x/8+3/2 (green line) this line has a slope=1/8.
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore these lines are perpendicular to each other.
