Answer: y = -4x + 1 or y = 1 - 4x
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to find the slope of the perpendicular. The slope of the line perpendicular to the other is the <u>reciprocal and opposite value</u> of the other line's slope.
This means that the slope perpendicular to y = 1/4x + 2 is -4, or -4/1.
Now we need to find the y-intercept, to do that we will use the equation y = mx + b. m = slope, b = y-intercept.
Plug in the values.
1 = -4(0) + b
Simplify.
1 = 0 + b
1 = b
Our y-intercept is 1.
Now we can form the slope-intercept equation for the line perpendicular to y = 1/4x + 2 that passes through the point (0, 1).
y = -4x + 1
A numerical expression contains numbers and operations. An algebraic expression is almost exactly the same except it also contains variables.
The answer is 5.
You just plug whatever number is in the f(?) part in for x!
