This can be simplified to 2x-y = 2
Solving for y leads to y = 2x-2
========================================================
Explanation:
Anything perpendicular to Ax+By = C is of the form Bx-Ay = D
The given equation 2x+4y = 14 tells us that A = 2, B = 4, C = 14.
So Bx-Ay = D updates to 4x-2y = D.
We'll plug in the coordinates of the given point (x,y) = (4,6) to solve for D.
4x-2y = D
D = 4x-2y
D = 4(4)-2(6)
D = 16-12
D = 4
So 4x-2y = D updates to 4x-2y = 4
Optionally, we can divide each term by 2 to go from 4x-2y = 4 to 2x-y = 2
If we wanted to solve for y, then we'd get y = 2x-2
