Question 135196: Find the equation of the line through the point (4,3)that is perpendicular to y=4x-8. Write your answer in slope-itercept form
Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Y=4X+8 (RED LINR)HAS A SLOPE=4.
THEREFORE ANY PERPENDICULAR LINE HAS A SLOPE=-1/4.
3=-1/4*4+b
3=-1+b
b=3+1
b=4 THE Y INTERCEPT.
Y=-X/4+4 ANSWER (GREEN LINE)
(graph 300x300 pixels, x from -10 to 10, y from -10 to 10, of TWO functions 4x +8 and -x/4 +4).
