SOLUTION: "Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the graph of the line." (-1,4),y=3x+5 I just want to get a s

Question 1128478: "Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the graph of the line."
(-1,4),y=3x+5
I just want to get a second opinion on my answers to see if they are right.
My answers are "y=-4x and y=-1/3+11/3."
Can you please tell me if they are right. Please and Thank You.

an equation in slope-intercept form for the line:
where is a slope and is y-intercept

if line is perpendicular to the graph of the line , its slope must be negative reciprocal of the (which is a slope of the given line) and it is:

so far, equation of the perpendicular line is:

if the line passes through (,),we will use it to find

=> your answer
