Question

Write two different equations that are perpendicular to
y=-1/4x - 1.

Answer 1

Explanation:

All lines perpendicular to the line y = -¹/₄ x - 1 will have a gradient that is the negative reciprocal (4).

∴ any line with a gradient of 4 would be perpendicular

examples include but are not limited to:

y = 4 x - 1

y = 4 x - 10

y = 4 x - 11

Answer 2

Explanation:

perpendicular is 90 degrees or inverse slope of that point

y = -1/4x -1

so the inverse slope of -1/4 is 4

now the other equation is

y = 4x - 1

So the two equations are

y = -1/4x -1

y = 4x - 1
