Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the Equation of a Line Parallel or Perpendicular to a Given Line

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Remember, any two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other. So if you're given the slope of \"-4\", you can find the perpendicular slope by this formula:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"m%5Bp%5D=-1%2Fm\" where \"m%5Bp%5D\" is the perpendicular slope
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"m%5Bp%5D=-1%2F%28-4%2F1%29\" So plug in the given slope to find the perpendicular slope
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"m%5Bp%5D=%28-1%2F1%29%281%2F-4%29\" When you divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction (which is really \"1%2F1\") by the reciprocal of the second
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"m%5Bp%5D=1%2F4\" Multiply the fractions.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So the perpendicular slope is \"1%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So now we know the slope of the unknown line is \"1%2F4\" (its the negative reciprocal of \"-4\" from the line \"y=-4%2Ax%2B3\").\n" ); document.write( "Also since the unknown line goes through (1/3,5/6), we can find the equation by plugging in this info into the point-slope formula
