The slopes need to have the relation $\"m%5B1%5D+=+-+1%2Fm%5B2%5D\"$
\n" ); document.write( "where $\"m%5B1%5D+=+2k+-+4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and $\"m%5B2%5D+=+k+%2B+6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2k+-+4+=+-%281%2F%28k+%2B+6%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282k+-+4%29%28k+%2B+6%29+=+-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2k%5E2+%2B+8k+-+24+=+-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2k%5E2+%2B+8k+-+23+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"k+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"k+=+%28-8+%2B-+sqrt%28+8%5E2-4%2A2%28-23%29+%29%29%2F%282%2A2%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"k+=+%28-8+%2B-+sqrt%28+248+%29%29%2F4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"k+=+-2+%2B-+%28sqrt%2862%29%29%2F2\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
