Question

Write and equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the graph of the given equation (-4,5),y=-4x-1 step by step please

Answer 1

y=1/4x+6

Explanation:

So when the slope is perpendicular to -4, then the slope = 1/4 because of negative reciprocal.

y=1/4x+b

Enter the given point (-4,5) into the equation.

5=1/4(-4)+b

5=-1+b

b=6
