Question

What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the

Answer 1

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line one is;

y = 1/4x + 5

The slope of this line is $\frac{1}{4}$

Let the slope of line two be 'a'.

a × $\frac{1}{4}$ = -1 (the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is equal to -1)

a = -1 ÷ $\frac{1}{4}$ =  -4
