Let c be any constant number. Which of the following will always be perpendicular to -4x + y = -2?
and the following are?
Y=1/4X+C Y=4X+C Y=-4X+C Y=-1/4X+C
can you find slope of lines? the product of slopes of two lines perpendicular to each other is -1
I DONT KNOW HOW TO FIND SLOPE
slope is also called gradient. do you know how to find gradient?
no
In a line Ax+By+c=0 slope=-B/A can you do it now? just try. you can do it. find slopes. the product of slopes of two lines perpendicular to each other is -1
i got y=4x+c is this right?
oops! i made a mistake! typo. slope=-A/B Now do it.
so i got y=-4x=C is this right?
what is the slope of given line?
4?
yep. now let, slope of anothe line perpendicular to it be x therefore, 4x=-1 or, x=-1/4 so, the line which has the slope -1/4 is your answer.
ohh okay thank you
the correct answer is y=-1/4x+c
