You can put this solution on YOUR website!
From \"4x-y=12\" we can see that slope \"m=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the perpendicular line has slope \"m1=-%281%2F4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "If you use \"the\"\"+point\"\"slope\"\"+form%29\", you will have:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=+-%281%2F4%29%28x-8%29+%2B+2+\" now you can simplify it
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%281%2F4%29%2Ax+%2B+%28-1%2F4%29%28-8%29+%2B2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=+-%281%2F4%29%2Ax+%2B2+%2B2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=+-%281%2F4%29%2Ax+%2B4\"
