Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 4x+2y=1 and passes through the point (-4,3)

First find the slope of the given line:

4x +2y = 1

Subtract 4x from each side:

2y = -4x + 1

Divide both sides by 2:

y = -2x +1/2

The slope is -2.

Now use the slope to find the y-intercept. Because  the line is perpendicular, you need to use the negative inverse of the slope.

The negative inverse of -2 is 1/2

Now using the point-slope form y - y1 = m(x-x1)

Use the inverse slope for m, and the given point(-4,3) to get:

y - 3 = 1/2(x+4)

Simplify:

y - 3 = x/2 +2

Add 3 to each side:

y = x/2 + 5

Reorder the terms to get y = 1/2x +5

The answer is D.

Anna007 [38]
1.)18 = 2(4 + x) ||
2.) 18 = 8 + 2x --- Distribute. ||
3.) 10 = 2x --- Isolate the variable by collecting like terms ||
4.) 5 = x 

I'd say A. is a good choice.
