Since the lines are perpendicular Product of their Slopes = -1 ie m1*m2 = -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4y = −x + 4 y = -x/4 + 1 Slope = -1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1/4 * m2 = -1 m2 = 4

nw Use Pont Slope Form (−7, 4) y-y1=m(x-x1) y-4 = 4(x+7) y = 4x +32

You have to find the equation at (−7, 4), you have the points but you don't have the gradient, because to form an equation you need coordinates and gradient \((y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)\) From the equation given we can find the gradient, 4y = −x + 4 y= -x/4 +1 gradient is -1/4, since its perpendicular, so, \(m_1m_2=-1\) Gradient = 4 Now you have the gradient and coordinate (-7,4), Use \((y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)\) to construct a new equation at that point (-7,4).
