Write an equation of the line passing through (–8, –3) and perpendicular to y =1/4x+2 . Write your answer in standard form Ax + By = C, A > 0
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "equation of a line: y=mx+b, m=slope. b=y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "y =1/4x+2
\n" ); document.write( "slope=1/4
\n" ); document.write( "slope of line perpendicular to this line=-4 (negative reciprocal)
\n" ); document.write( "equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y=-4x+b
\n" ); document.write( "solve for b using given coordinates (-8,-3) on this line.
\n" ); document.write( "-3=-4*-8+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=-35
\n" ); document.write( "equation: y=-4x-35
\n" ); document.write( "or in standard form:
\n" ); document.write( "4x+y=-35 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
