Answer 6

are you sure ??
can i help u ??

Answer 7

i need help

Answer 8

okay
so perpendicular like i said before hope you rembered that last post
the equation you have is -4
perpendicular slope should be opposite
so -4/1<-- flipp it and change sign

Answer 9

what does that mean?

Answer 10

for example if slope is 2/1 perpendicular slope should be -1/2

Answer 11

ok so -1/4

Answer 12

y = -4x -2 <-- here slope is negative
then perpendicular slope should be positive
"flip it and change sign"
negative reciprocall

Answer 13

ok

Answer 14

so that should be 1/4

Answer 15

oh ok

Answer 16

now replace x and y by their values then solve for b
