Question

Write the equation of the line which passes through (2, –3) and is perpendicular to y = 4x + 7 in standard form.
I dont know if I have the right answer?
y=4x+7
-3=4(2)+b
-3=8+b
B=11 and y=-1/4? So Y=-1/4x-11 Is this right?

Answer 1

well it sounds right to me :/ but you need to multiply everything by 4 to get rid of the denominator

Answer 2

then put it all in one side

Answer 3

isn't that what I did?

Answer 4

Answer 7

I just thought the answer was Y=-1/4x-11
