The slope of a line is –4 and its y-intercept is (0, 4). What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the first line and passes through (–8, 2)?

Perpendicular lines have the negative inverse of the other slope

y=-4x+4 is our original line our perpendicular line is y=1/4x+b 2= 1/4(-8)+b 2= -2+b b=4
