Question 711841: what is the slope intercept form of the linear equation with a graph that passes through (-3,4) and is perpendicular to 4x+y=16. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Put the given equation into slope-intercept form so that you can determine the slope of the line represented by the given equation. Since perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, take the opposite of the reciprocal of the slope you just calculated and that is the slope of the desired line. Then use the point-slope form:
where are the coordinates of the given point and is the calculated slope.
Solve the result for in terms of everything else to put the result in slope-intercept form.
