Question 522498
6	x		-4	y  	=	8				
Find the slope of this line 										
										
-4y=-6x	+	8				
Divide by 	-4									
y=2x-2				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b										
slope m =	1.50=>3/2									
										
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal-2/3
m1*m2=-1										
The slope of the required line will be 	- 2/3							
										
m=	- 2/3	,point	(	1	,	4	)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
4	=	-2/3	+	b						
b=	14/3									
m=	- 2/3									
The required equation is y =	-  2/ 3	x+	14/ 3
