Question 1031814
8      	x	+	1	y  	=	2				
Find the slope of this line										                                                                                                            
										
1	y  	=	-8      	x	+	2    				
Divide by	1									
	y  	=	-8      	x	+	2    				
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
Because m1*m2 =-1										
The slope of the required line will be			 1/8							
										
m=	 1/8	,point	(	0	,	6	)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
6	=	0      	+	b						
b=	6    									
m=	 1/8									
The required equation is		y  	=	  1/ 8	x	+	6
