Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that is perpendicular to the line y = –4x and passes through the point (2, 6).

Answer 1

If the line is perpendicular, then the slope will be

-1/m

So can you tell me what the new slope will be?

Answer 2

@Philomath not sure I'm really lost would it be -3

Answer 3

@johnweldon1993 help please

Answer 4

any line is in the form y= mx+ b, where
(x,y) is any point
m is the slope
b is the y intercept (when y=0)

Answer 5

Can you identity m in this equation?

y = -4x

Answer 6

so 4 is the slope
