\n" ); document.write( "that satisfies the given conditions
\n" ); document.write( "through (1/2x, - 2/7) perpendicular to the line 4x-8y=1
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------------------\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check your document! The problem should say, \"through line with the equation y=(1/2)x-2/7, and perpendicular to line with equation 4x-8y=1. If that were what the description were intended to mean, it still seems strange.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Perpendicular to 4x-8y=1, would be something of the form \"8x%2B4y=c\",
\n" ); document.write( "\"4y=-8x%2Bc\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=-2x%2Bc%2F2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "and for that, you can let c be any real number. The line and equation found will be perpendicular to \"y=x%2F2-2%2F7\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
