Recall from Intermediate Algebra that two non-vertical lines are perpendicular if and only if they have negative reciprocal slop

es. That is to say, if one line has slopem1and the other has slopem2thenm1 · m2 = −1.Please note that a horizontal line is perpendicular to a vertical line and vice versa, so we assumem1 ≠ 0andm2 ≠ 0.Below, you are given a line and a point which is not on that line. Find the line perpendicular to the given line which passes through the given point.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The line is y  =  -4 x

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The line is y  =  \frac{1}{4} x  + 8

The point is P(0,0 )

Generally the equation for a line is yn =  mx  + c

Now comparing this with the given equation we see that

m  =\frac{1}{4} =  slope

C  =8  =  intercept

Generally the slope of the perpendicular to the given line is mathematically evaluated as

m_1  = -  \frac{1}{m}

=> m_1  = -  \frac{1}{ \frac{1}{4}}

=> m_1  = -4

Generally from the univesal equation of a line and the given point we have that

y = mx + c at p(0,0) and m_1 =  -4 is

0 = -4 (0 ) + c

=> c = 0

Hence the equation perpendicular to the line given at the point given is

y  =  -4 x
