SOLUTION: Find the equation of the line through the point (4,3) that is perpendicular to y=4x-8. Write your answer in slope intercept form

Question 135194:
Find the equation of the line through the point (4,3) that is perpendicular to y=4x-8. Write your answer in slope intercept form

Y=4X+8 (RED LINE)
a line through (4,3) with a slope=4 is:
3=4*4+b
3=16+b
b=3-16
b=-13 answer for the y intercept.
thus the equation is:
Y=4X-13 (GREEN LINE).
