how do I write an equation for the line in point-slope form and in slope-intercept form. Passing through (5, -8) and perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=1/4x+5
Added by William K.
Step 1
The given line has the equation y = 1/4x + 5, which is in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) where m is the slope. Therefore, the slope of the given line is 1/4. Show more…
