Slope intercept form

Question

What is the slope intercept form for a perpendicular line question f(x)=12-4(x)?

Answer 1

The slope of the line y = -4x + 12 is -4.

Any line perpendicular to that line has slope -1 / (-4) = 1/4.

So, the slope-intercept form for such a line would be y = (1/4)x + b, where b is the y-intercept.

Answer 2

y = 12-4x

perpendicular line has negative inverse slope = 1/4

y = x/4 + b where b = y intercept
