Question

Math equation question

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

The slope in the equation is 2

m = 2

The slope of a perpendicular line must be inverse to m = 2

m = -1/2

With the known point and slope the equation of the perpendicular line is determined:

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

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

`y=-(1)/(2)x-2+1`

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

Hope this helps
