Question 615240
y = (1/4)x + 6 is in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), with 1/4 being the slope


perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so the slope of the new line is -4


y = -4 x + b


to find the new y-intercept (b), plug in the given point


(0) = -4(-8) + b ___ -32 = b


the new equation is ___ y = -4x - 32
