Question

Help me answer this please

Answer 1

Answer:

  y = 4x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line perpendicular to the given line can be written as the same equation with the coefficients of x and y swapped, and one of them negated. The constant may be different, so we'll call it "c".

  4x -y +c = 0 . . . . . line perpendicular to that given

The y-intercept of the second given line can be found by setting x=0. That gives the equation -y -3 = 0. The perpendicular line with x=0 would have equation ...

  -y +c = 0

Comparing these two tells us c = -3.

So, the general form of the perpendicular line we want is ...

  4x -y - 3 = 0

We can add y to put this in slope-intercept form:

  y = 4x -3
