Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Slope-intercept form</u>
y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
f(x)= -2x +4
Let's rewrite this function into an equation, in the slope-intercept form.
y= -2x +4
Slope= -2
The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.
Let the slope of the perpendicular line be m.
m(-2)= -1
m= ½
y= ½x +c
To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates into the equation.
When x= -4, y= -1,
-1= ½(-4) +c
-1= -2 +c
c= -1 +2
c= 1
Thus, the equation of the line is y= ½x +1.
