Find the equation of a line perpendicular to 4x-y=4 that contains the points (0,3)
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
x + 4y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The perpendicular line can be found by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. Then those new coefficients can be used with the coordinates of the given point to find the required constant.
line: 4x -y = 4
perpendicular line: x +4y = constant
Through (0, 3):
0 +4(3) = constant = 12
The perpendicular line has standard form equation x +4y = 12.
