Answer:

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

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 4x + 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 4

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is


m_(perpendicular) = -
(1)/(m) = -
(1)/(-4) =
(1)/(4), hence

y =
(1)/(4) x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line

To find c substitute (8, 1 ) into the partial equation

1 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 2 = - 1

y =
(1)/(4) x - 1 ← equation of perpendicular line
