What is the equation in slope-intercept form of a line that is perpendicular to y = 1/4 x - 1 and passes through the paint (4, 1) ?

Find the slope of the perpendicular line

When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1. This means that the slopes are negative-reciprocals of each other.

             ⇒  if the slope of this line =  ¹/₄

                  then the slope of the perpendicular line (m) = - 4

Determine the equation

We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:

                               ⇒  y - 1 =  - 4 (x - 4)

We can also write the equation in the slope-intercept form by making y the subject of the equation and expanding the bracket to simplify:

                           since   y - 1 = - 4 (x - 4)

∴ the slope-intercept equation of the perpendicular line is  y =  - 4 x + 17.

i am currently in the exact same situation rn. algebra2/adv algebra is killing

step-by-step explanation:

what is the question? i am guessing you are looking for the area.

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft
