Write the equation in slope-intercept form that contains the following point and is perpendicular to the given line y = -4x + 3; (4, -2)

y = 1/4 x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -4x + 3;

the slope of this equation is -4

we want the slope perpendicular to this

take the negative reciprocal

- (-1/4) = 1/4

so the slope of our line will be 1/4

we have the slope and a point so we can use point slope form

y-y1 = m (x-x1)

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

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

we need to change it to slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

distribute

y+2 = 1/4 x -1/4*4

y+2 = 1/4x -1

subtract 2 from each side

y +2-2 = 1/4 x -1-2

y = 1/4 x -3

the slope is 1/4 and the y intercept is -3
