You can put this solution on YOUR website!
first find the equation for this line
m=%28y-y%29%2F%28x-x%29
m=%286-2%29%2F%286-2%29
m=%284%29%2F%284%29
m=1
y=mx%2Bb
2=%281%292%2Bb
0=b
y=x up 1 right 1
the perpendicular line will have the opposite inverse of the slope
so the equation will be
y=-x up 1 left 1
if u dont believe me draw it out
