Question

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 0.25x - 7 and that passes through the point (-6,8).

Answer 1

y = -4x -16

Explanation:

Line perpendicular have the slope = -1/m

Substitute the values,

8 = (-4)(-6) + c

8 = 24 + c

c = -16

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular line is y = -4x-16
