step 1 - solve the equation for y. we get
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x=5y-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "add 4 to get
\n" ); document.write( "\"5y+=+8x+%2B+4\"
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 5 to get
\n" ); document.write( " \"y+=+%288%2F5%29x+%2B+4%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "step 2 - determine parallel and perpendicular slopes.
\n" ); document.write( "parallel slope = m = (8/5)
\n" ); document.write( "perpendicular slope = m = (-5/8)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "step 3 - line passing through (1,-2) with slope = m = (8/5)
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+mx+%2B+b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2+=+%288%2F5%29%281%29+%2B+b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+-18%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%288%2F5%29x+-+18%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "step 4 - line passing through (1,-2) with slope = m = -(5/8)
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+mx+%2B+b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2+=+-%285%2F8%29%281%29+%2B+b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+-11%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+-%285%2F8%29x+-+11%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
