Question

Which choice could be the equation of a line perpendicular to the line

represented by this equation?
4x- y = -8

Answer 1

First, let us find the slope of 4x- y = -8.

-y=-4x-8

y=4x+8

It can be any equation with a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of 4 which is -1/4.

answer: y=-1/4x is a possible equation
