Answer:
y +2 = (1/4)(x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given line is in slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
where the slope (m) is -4 and the y-intercept (b) is +13.
For the perpendicular line, we need a slope that is the opposite reciprocal, or ...
-1/m = -1/(-4) = 1/4
A suitable form for the desired equation is the point-slope form:
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
For m=1/4 and (h, k) = (-1, -2), the equation of the line is ...
y +2 = (1/4)(x +1)

Answer:
y = -5x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the points (-5,-4) and (0,-3) plug them into this formula to get the slope.
Now plug in your points
Since you're slope is 1/5 the slope of the perpendicular line is going to be the totally opposite -5 is the slope of the perpendicular line.
Now plug in -5 and the point (-2,2) into y = mx + b to get the y-intercept
2 = -5(-2) + b (b represents the y-intercept)
2 = 10 + b (subtract 10 from both sides)
-8 = b
The perpendicular line looks like this y = -5x - 8
