Question 1001272: Find the slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the given line.
(0,5) and y=-8x+4 Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the line you want is perpendicular to y=-8x+4, then the slope you need is the negative reciprocal or (1/8).
Plug into y=mx+b to find b...
5 = (1/8)(0) + b
b = 5
so the line you want is
y = (1/8)x + 5
