Question

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form

Answer 1

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that is perpendicular to y = -4x -2 and passes through the point (-16, -11

Answer 2

@Victoria_Davis_2018 this is the question

Answer 3

U want clear setps of how to solve or u just need an equation?

Answer 4

Since the lines are perpendicular slope of the line should be -1/m and slope of the given is -4 so slope of the perpendicular line will be - _-1/4) = 1/4

Answer 5

Now we know the slope and also the points through which the line is passing that is (-16,-11) so we can write the equation of the line using formula y - y1 =m(x - x1)

Answer 6

y - (-11) = 1/4 ( x - -(16)) => y + 11 = 1/4 (x + 16)

Answer 7

4y + 44 = x + 16 => x + 16 - 4y - 44 = 0 => x - 4y - 28

Answer 8

It looks like @ganibl has got this covered

Answer 9

:)

Answer 10

@ganibl thanks so much I need it explained
