Answer:
y-2 = 1/4(x-20) point slope form
y = 1/4x -3 slope intercept form
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -4x
The slope is -4
The slope that is perpendicular is the negative reciprocal
- (1/-4) = 1/4
The slope of our new line is 1/4
We have a point and the slope, so we can use point slope form
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-2 = 1/4(x-20)
If we want the line in slope intercept form, distribute
y-2 = 1/4x -5
Add 2 to each side
y-2+2 = 1/4x -5+2
y = 1/4x -3
