Answer:

1) slope intercept y= (-7/4)*x-19/2 2) point slope y-1= -7/4*(x+6)

Explanation:

4x-7y=2

7y= 4x-2

y=(4/7)*x-2/7

To find the m2 (the number near x, it is called slope) for searched the slope intercept

use the formula for perpendicular lines

m1*m2=-1

m1= 4/7

m2= -1/ (4/7)= -7/4.

The slope intercept must look like y=m2*x+b

Use the coordinates of given point of the searched line (-6,1) and m2= -7/4.

1= (-7/4) *(-6) +b

b= -19/2

So slope intercept is y= (-7/4)*x-19/2

Point slope formula is y-y1= m2(x-x1) m2=-7/4. x1=-6 y1=1

y-1= -7/4(x+6)
