Question

Which of the following is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = -4x - 5 and goes through the point -2,3

Answer 1

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so the slope of the line that we need to find is 1/4.

Substituting into point-slope form yields the equation

`y-3=(1)/(4)(x-2)`
