Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through (8,1) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=−4x+2. Show all work below and place it in Slope Intercept Form.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\displaystyle y = \frac{1}{4}x - 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

1 = ¼[8] + b

2

$\displaystyle -1 = b \\ \\ y = \frac{1}{4}x - 1$

* Perpendicular Lines have OPPOSITE MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSE RATE OF CHANGES [SLOPES], so −4 becomes ¼.
