Question

Find the equation of a line perpendicular to 4x−y=2 that contains the point (4,−2). Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x -y =2

-y = -4x + 2

y = 4x -2

slope = 4

perpendicular slope is negative inverse

so -1/4

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

y+2 = -1/4x +1

y = -1/4x -1
