Question 870517: Write a linear equation that is perpendicular to y=4x-2 and has a y-intercept of (0,3)

The slope of y = 4x - 2 is 4 or 4/1
Flip the fraction: 4/1 ---> 1/4
Flip the sign: 1/4 ---> -1/4
The perpendicular slope is -1/4
So the slope to our answer equation is m = -1/4
The y-intercept of our answer equation is given to be (0,3), so b = 3
Put them together to get this final answer
