| Question 826384:  Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line described.
 through: (-4,-2) perp. to y=-4/5x+2
 Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)
      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! --- given:
 (-4,-2)
 perpendicular to y=-4/5x+2
 ---
 point = (-4,-2)
 slope = 5/4 = 1.25
 ---
 to solve the linear equation, copy and paste this (the given point and the perpendicular slope):
 -4,-2,1.25
 into the "Point-Slope form: x1 y1 m" input box here: https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php
 ---
 x-intercept = (-2.4, 0)
 y-intercept = (0, 3)
 slope = 1.25
 ---
 answer:
 the slope-intercept form of our new line:
 y = 1.25x + 3
