Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line simply flip the slope ( so if it is 1/3 flip it to 3 or if it's 3 flip it to 1/3) and change the sign ( so if it's positive change it to negative vise versa )
The equation we are given has a slope of -1/4
So flip the fraction ( we would get -4)
And change the sign ( we would get 4)
So the slope of a line that is perpendicular to y = -1/4x + 5 is 4
Answer:
slope = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{4} }[/tex] = 4
