Question

write an equation in standard form of the line that contains the point (-4,3) and is perpendicular to the line y=4x-1

Answer 1

y = 4x - 1
What is the slope of this line?
What will be the slope of a line perpendicular to this line?

Answer 2

what do you mean?

Answer 3

(-4,3)

Answer 4

write an equation in standard form of the line that contains the point (-4,3) and is perpendicular to the line y=4x-1

Answer 5

y = 4x - 1 is the equation of a straight line.
Straight line has something called a slope. It represents how steep the angle the straight line makes with the x-axis. So I am asking what is the slope of the line y = 4x - 1?

Answer 6

The first step in solving this problem is to determine the slope of the line y = 4x - 1 and then determine the slope of a line that is perpendicular to y = 4x - 1.

Answer 7

i post the question as i have which is:

Answer 8

Yes, I know the question. I am helping you solve the problem by asking you to do the first step. But if you just want the answer then I cannot help you.

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

the slope is (-4,3)

Answer 11

Answer 12

(-4,3) is a point. It is not the slope.

In the general equation of a line, y = mx + b, 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.
Can you compare y = mx + b to y = 4x - 1 and tell me what the slope 'm' is?
