Find the slop from the given equation. 2x + 4y + 7 = 0

The slope of the line would be -1/2.

To find the slope we need to make the line in the form y = mx + b:

2x + 4y + 7 = 0

2x + 4y = -7

4y = -2x - 7

÷ 4

y = (-2/4)x - (7/4)

-2/4 simplifies to -1/2.

I hope this helps!

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
