The equation of a line containing one leg of a right triangle is y = –4x. Which of the following equations could represent the line containing the other leg of this triangle since the two legs are perpendicular?

Any line with a slope of (1/4).

In a right triangle, one pair of legs must form a right angle. When two lines form a right angle, we say that they are perpendicular. So therefor, if the slope of a line is -4, then the slope of a perpendicular line is (1/4).

Hope this helps!

in the year 2850, humans successfully colonized mars. the martian modules that were constructed could hold only a small population of people. it is now a century later, and the population on mars has grown to 600 people. of the current mars population, 45 people express the recessive phenotype for phenylketon- uria (pku) syndrome (pp genotype).
