Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through the point (4, -2) and is perpendicular to the line y =4x - 1

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -1/4x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 1

Change 4x to -1/4 to make the slope perpendicular

Then put (4, -2) on x and y to find b

-2 = -1/4(4) + b

-2 = -1 + b

-2 + 1 = -1

b is -1

So your final answer in slope intercept form is y = -1/4x - 1
