SOLUTION: write an equation in slope-intercept form for (-3,2) and is perpendicular to y=-4x+2

Question 1065194: write an equation in slope-intercept form for (-3,2) and is perpendicular to y=-4x+2

1) y = -4x + 2
:
A line perpendicular to equation 1 has a slope equal to the negative reciprocal of equation 1's slope
:
equation 1's slope is -4 so the negative reciprocal is 1/4
:
we are give the point (-3,2), therefore
:
2 = -3/4 + b
:
b = 11/4
:
The slope intercept form of our line is
:
y = x/4 + (11/4)
:
