Question

hat is the slope of a line perpendicular to y = -4x - 1

1. -4
2. -1/4
3. 1/4
4. 4

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the perpendicular line would be 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

All perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. This means we take the current slope, change the sign and flip it.

-4 -----> change the sign

4 ------> Flip it

1/4 = slope
