On a map of downtown Lineville, 12th Street is perpendicular to Avenue J. The equation y = -4x + 3 represents 12th Street. What is the equation of Avenue J if it passes through the point (8, 16)?
Select one:
a. y = -4x + 48
b. y = 1/4x + 14
c. y = 1/4x + 3 IncorrectFirst, decide what the new slope should be based on the given information (the lines are perpendicular). Then, use the new slope and the point given to find the equation of the new line. You must work this out.
d. y = -4x + 14

|dw:1374301908162:dw| we find the perpendicular slope by flipping the bottom number with the top number and multiplying by -1 now lets try to get the equation lets plug in our given information to this formula! |dw:1374302066933:dw|  now you have your answer!!
