Question

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point(4,-11) and is perpendicular to the line represented by y=4x-1?

Answer 1

y = (-1/4)x - 10

Explanation:

y = 4x - 1

y = -1/4x - 1

(4, -11),

(x₁, y₁)

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - (-11) = (-1/4)(x - 4)

y + 11 = (-1/4)x + 1

-11 -11

-------------------------------

y = (-1/4)x - 10

I hope this helps!
