Given


y=4x+2

To find:

The equation of the perpendicular line.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,


y=4x+2

That implies,

Since the slope of the given line is 4 and the product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Then,


\begin{gathered} m_1m_2=-1 \\ 4* m_2=-1 \\ m_2=-(1)/(4) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the equation of the perpendicular line is,
