@Health, lol no there isnt any formula. 
Idk which formulas my mind uses!

anonymous · Answer

ok cause i really dont understand of how to do them

anonymous · Answer

but you guys think that the answer is in the question?

saifoo.khan · Answer

the answer is always hidden in the question

anonymous · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

lol.  Really though.  Unless I have no idea what im talking about (which is often), the answer is indeed the equation given to you in the question.

anonymous · Answer

okay.

anonymous · Answer

write the equation of the line which passes through (2,-3) and is perpendicular to y=4x+7 in standard form

anonymous · Answer

Ah, now that takes thinking about.

anonymous · Answer

To get a perpendicular slope, take the negative inverse of the given equation's slope.  You are given a slope of 4, so the neg inv of that is -(1/4)

anonymous · Answer

then you need to find the y-intercept. so $$y=\frac{-x}{4}+b$$plug in your known values to find b $$(-3)=\frac{(-2)}{4}+b$$
then solve for b.
