You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write an equation of the line containing the specifies point and perpendicular to the indicated line. (0,-7), 4x+3=y
----
That line has a slope of m = 4.
---
Any line perpendicular to it must have slope = -1/4
--------------------------
So, m = -1/4, and the y-intercept is -7.
----
Equation:
y = (-1/4)x-7
