document.write( "line passing through (-2,5)and perpendicular to the graph of y=(-1/8)x + 19/4 
\n" );
document.write( " 
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "Line perpendicular will have slope m = 8 as  8/1*(-1/8) = -1
\n" );
document.write( "  y = 8x + b |using ordered pair Pt(-2,5) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "  5 = -16 + b
\n" );
document.write( "   21 = b  
\n" );
document.write( " y = 8x + 21
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( "
