Let us find the gradient of the line:
by rewriting it in the slope intercept form.
We divide through by 4 now;
This is now in the form;
where
is he slope.
This implies that the slope of the line that is perpendicular to this line will be the negative reciprocal of .
Thus the perpendicular line has slope,
.
Let the perpendicular line have equation,
When we substitute the slope we have;
We substitute the point. to find c.
We substitute c to obtain;
