Question 703031: Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line perpendicualr to Y=8x-2 that passes through the point (4,-2). Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Determine the slope of the line represented by the given equation by examination of the coefficient on . Calculate the negative reciprocal of that slope. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so this is the slope of your desired line. Now use the point-slope form:
where are the coordinates of the given point and is the calculated slope.
