Question

Write two different equations that are perpendicular to
y=-1/4x - 1.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular is 90 degrees or inverse slope of that point

y = -1/4x -1

so the inverse slope of -1/4 is 4

now the other equation is

y = 4x - 1

So the two equations are

y = -1/4x -1

y = 4x - 1

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All lines perpendicular to the line y =  -¹/₄ x - 1 will have a gradient that is the negative reciprocal (4).

∴ any line with a gradient of 4 would be perpendicular

examples include but are not limited to:

    y = 4 x - 1

    y = 4 x - 10

    y = 4 x - 11
