slope of given line, -4
\n" ); document.write( "slope of wanted line, \"1%2F4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "HOW?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4x%2By=-2\"-------the given line;
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-4x-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=highlight_green%28-4%29x-2\"-----in slope-intercept form, showing the slope of given line\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Question asks about the line perpendicular to the given line, so the slope wanted for the PERPENDICULAR line must be \"highlight_green%281%2F4%29\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2B1=%281%2F4%29%28x-2%29\"---------the line wanted, using the point-slope equation form.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
