Answer:
slope = 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, I chose two points where the line intersected the graph at an exact point.
Points:
(0, -8)
(4, -7)
Slope is the measure of rise over run, so starting at (0, -8) I went up one and to the right 4 times.
To put this as a fraction, we would have: 1/4
The numerator and denominator are positive because we went up and to the right.
Therefore, the slope is 1/4.

Answer:
y = -x +5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the given equation for y, we have ...
y = x +4
The slope of this line is the coefficient of x: 1. The slope of the perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/1 = -1. The y-intercept of the perpendicular line can be found from ...
b = y -mx = 8 -(-1)(-3) = 5
The perpendicular line has equation ...
y = -x +5
