slope of given line, -4
slope of wanted line,

HOW?

-------the given line;

-----in slope-intercept form, showing the slope of given line

Question asks about the line perpendicular to the given line, so the slope wanted for the PERPENDICULAR line must be .

---------the line wanted, using the point-slope equation form.
