Answer:
slope intercept form is: y= mx +c
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : linear equation y = -4x + 1, the slope is m = -4
[you can read the slope m , from the equation]
rule for perpendicular slope: m1 x m2 = -1
Let the slope in the original equation equal m1, i.e. m1 = -4
therefore, -4 x m2 = -1
m2 = -1/-4
slope of perpendicular line = 1/4
so, y = 1/4 x + 1
