what is the slope of given line?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can u find?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=-4x-2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
compare
y=mx+c
m is slope
now what is m?

-4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the slope is -4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right
now pependicular line has slope = negative invese
m of perpe =-1/m
what is -1/m?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-1/-4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
=1/4 is slope
points are given
plug in equ
y-y1=m(x-x1)
what will be equ?

4-(-11)=-4(-1-(-16)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@03225186213
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
y-(-11)=1/4(x-(-16)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y+11=1/4x+4
y=1/4x-7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so how do i write everything out lol

you trid but dont put y and x in equ x1 and y1 are given
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
slope of given line =-4
slope of perpendicular line =-1/m=1/4
equ of perpen having slope 1/4 and passing through (-16, -11). is
y-(-11)=1/4(x-(-16)
y+11=1/4x+4
y=1/4x-7
