Question 55185: write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that satisfies each set of conditions.
passes through (-2,1),perpendicular to the line y=4x-11

slope-intercept form

if a line is perpendicular to

Then it's slope (m) is -1/4 (the opposite reciprocal)
and the point (x,y) on the line is (-2,1)
Plug these values in and solve for the y-intercept (b)




write the equation again, this time with only the m and b values
