Question 198211: write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (-4,3) and is perpendicular to the line of y= -4x-1. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
The given equation is already in slope-intercept form, so you can determine the slope of that line by inspection.
Next use:
to determine the slope of the desired line.
Now that you have the slope and one point (given) of the desired line, use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to derive the desired equation:
Finally, solve the derived equation for in terms of to put it into slope-intercept form.
