Answer:

y - 4 = ¼(x + 2)

Explanation:

Point-slope form equation is given as y - b = m(x - a). Where,

(a, b) = a point on the line = (-2, 4)

m = slope = ¼ (sleep of the line perpendicular to y = -4x - 1 is the negative reciprocal of its slope value, -4 which is ¼)

✔️To write the equation, substitute (a, b) = (-2, 4), and m = ¼ into the point-slope equation, y - b = m(x - a).

y - 4 = ¼(x - (-2))

y - 4 = ¼(x + 2)

None of the options are correct
