Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y= -1/4x+2 in slope-intercept form and passes through the point (-4,3)

11111nata11111 [884]

I believe that the perpendicular equation would be the opposite sign and the reciprocal of the original slope. Then you just plug in the x and y coordinate to y=mx+b and solve for b.
y=4x+b
3=4(-4)+b
3=-16+b
b=19
y=4x+19

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Ocean Waves or Desert Winds - boulders
Quiet Water - Mud
Fast Moving Stream - Sand
Glacial Ice - House sized block
Very slow moving stream - silt
Tubulent Stream during a flood - Cobble

Explanation:

Glacial ice can transport rocks as big as a house. It has very high transport competence and moves very slowly across a very large distance.
The maximum size of particles that a stream can transport is defined as stream competence. This is a concept under hydrology. Streams depending on its velocity can carry sand, mud, silt and cobble along with the dissolved and suspended load.
The process by which Ocean waves transport sediments, large pebbles and boulders is referred to as Coastal Transportation. During Coastal transportation, large pebbles and boulders are rolled along the seabottom, while beach material is bounced along the seabed.

Cheers!
