Find slope %280-4%29%2F%282--2%29+=+-4%2F4+=+-1
...
A parallel line will have the SAME slope of -1
Since it is parallel it will not share the (2,0) or (-2,4) points
...
A perpendicular line with have the negative inverse slope of 1
...
Using (2,0), and the slope of -1
y-0 = -1(x-2)
y = -x + 2 ===> This is the originating line from (2,0) and (-2,4)
...
A perpendicular line intersecting at (2,0)
y - 0 = 1(x-2)
y = x-2 ====> This is the perpendicular line through (2,0)
...
Use the same method to find the perpendicular line through (-2,4)
y-4 = 1(x--2)
y = x+2+4
y = x+6
