Question 576139
8      	x	+	1	y  	=	5				
Find the slope of this line										
										
1	y  	=	-8      	x	+	5				
Divide by	1									
	y  	=	-8      	x	+	5				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b,					m= slope & b= y intercept					
slope m =	-8    									
										
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal										 1/8
m1*m2=-1										
The slope of the required line will be			 1/8							
										
m=	 1/8	,point	(	3	,	4	)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
4	=	  3/ 8	+	b						
b=	29/8									
m=	 1/8									
The required equation is y 	=	  1/ 8	x +29/ 8
