write an equation for the following conditions: Passing through (-4,6) perpendicular to the line whose equation is Y= (-1/4)x+5 there are no parentheses around the -1/4
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "y = -x/4 + 5 is the slope-intercept form, so the slope m = -1/4
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line perpendicular has a slope that's the negative inverse, +4
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Then:
\n" ); document.write( "y-y1 = m*(x-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 6 = 4*(x-(-4))
\n" ); document.write( "y - 6 = 4*(x+4)
\n" ); document.write( "y-6 = 4x+16
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4x + 22 (slope-intercept form)
\n" ); document.write( "4x - y = -22 (standard form)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
