Question

Write the equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through(-1,6) and is perpendicular to the line y=1/4x-3

Answer 1

y = -4x + 2.

Explanation:

The given line has a slope of 1/4, so the perpendicular line will have a slope of -4 (negative reciprocal). Using the point-slope form of a line with the given point (-1,6): y - 6 = -4(x + 1) Simplifying and rearranging into slope-intercept form: y = -4x + 2.
