Hi,
line passing through point (0, 4), perpendicular to the line whose equation is y = highlight%28-1%2F1%29x
New Line has slope = 1
y - 4 =highlight_green%281%2F1%29(x-0) |point-slope form, y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+m%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29
y-4 = x
y+=+x+%2B+4 |standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is y+=+green%28m%29x+%2B+b
