Write an equation of the line that passes through (-1,4) and is perpendicular to the line shown.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation that is perpendicular to a given line, take the negative reciprocal of the given slope. the given slope is 4/3, so the negative reciprocal is -3/4.

Using slope-intercept form of a linear equation, y=mx+b substitute in -3/4 for "m" the slope.

y=-3/4x+b

Now you need to "b" the y-intercept using the given point (-4,-1). Substitute the values in the equation. -1=-3/4(-4)+b simplify

                           -1= 3 + b    subtract 3 for both sides

                           -4=b

         substitue -4 for b.   Now you have    y= -3/4x - 4    this is your answer.

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
