Answer 1

C. y + 3 = ¼(x + 4)

Explanation:

✔️Find the slope of the given line:

Slope = ∆y/∆x = -(4/1) = -4

The line that is perpendicular to the given line on the graph would have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of -4.

Thus, the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line on the graph would be ¼.

m = ¼.

Since the line passes through (-4, -3), to write the equation in point-slope form, substitute a = -4, b = -3, and m = ¼ into y - b = m(x - a)

Thus:

y - (-3) = ¼(x - (-4))

y + 3 = ¼(x + 4)
