The point is
and the equation of line is
.
Rewrite the equation
in the slope - intercept form by solving for y.
Subtract 2x from each side.
\

Divide each side by 4.
\
.
The equation
is in the form
where m is slope and b is y - intercept.
Therefore slope of given line is
.
Because the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, the slope of perpendicular line through
is 2.
To find the y - intercept, substitute the values of
in the slope - intercept from of equation
and solve for b.


Subtract 16 from each side.
\
.
Substitute the values of
in the slope - intercept form of equation
.
The equation of perpendicular line is
.
