Judyy = 4x − 9 The equation is already in the slope intercept form: y = mx + b
where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept
The perpendicular to a given slope m is −1/m Therefore, the perpendicular for the given equation is −1/4 !! Without a known point on the new line, no equation can be given here !! We can assume two possible points on the original equation and the origin just for fun: For (0, -9) the y-intercept . . . y = -x/4 - 9
For (0, 0) the origin .. . . . . . . y = -x/4
For (2.25, 0) the x-intercept . y = -x/4 + 0.5625

Which is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by y equals three fourths x subtract one half?
If you mean: y = 3/4x-0.5 then the perpendicular equation could be y = -4/3x-5
What is the slope of every line perpendicular to the graph of this equation 4x plus 5y equals 7?
4x+5y = 7 5y = -4x+7 y = -4/5x+7/5 in slope intercept form So the slope of the perpendicular line is plus 5/4
What is the slope of the line that has the equation 4x plus 2y equals 12?
what is the slope of the line that has the equation 4x+2y=12?
Find the slope of a line perpendicular to 4x plus 5y equals 7?

What is the equation of the line passing through -2 -3 that is at right angles to the equation 4x plus 3y -5 equals 0 on the Cartesian plane?
The equation will be perpendicular to the given equation and have a slope of 3/4:- Perpendicular equation: y--3 = 3/4(x--2) => 4y--12 = 3x--6 => 4y = 3x-6 Perpendicular equation in its general form: 3x-4y-6 = 0
