(Perpendicular lines on an x-y graph have negative reciprocal slopes.
The given line has slope=4, so any line perpendicular to it has slope=-1/4.)

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x plus 4y equals 12?
4y= -3x + 12 y = -3/4x + 3 The perpendicular slope is 4/3
What is the straight line equation passing through the point -2 -3 and perpendicular to the line 4x plus 3y minus 5 equals 0?
3x-4y-6 = 0
What is the equation of the line that passes through the orgin and has a gradient of -4?
y = -4x
What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y equals -4x 2?
The slope is -4
What is the slope of a line -4x 3y equals 1?
If: -4x+3y = 1 Then: 3y = 4x+1 And: y = 4/3x+1/3 which is now in slope-intercept form
Which line is perpendicular to 2x-8y plus 23 equals 0?
4x + y + c = 0 or, for a line going through a given point (xo, yo): y + 4x - (xo + yo) = 0 The gradient of a line multiplied by the gradient of a line perpendicular to it is -1; or in other words: The gradient of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the gradient of the line. Thus: 2x - 8y + 23 = 0 ⇒ 8y = 2x + 23 ⇒ y = 1/4x + 23/8 ⇒ gradient of perpendicular line is -1 ÷ 1/4 = -4 Thus the equation of the perpendicular line to 2x - 8y + 23 = 0 is 4x + y + c = 0. To find the line through point (xo, yo) perpendicular to 2x - 8y + 23 = 0, use the format: y - yo = m(x - xo) ⇒ y - yo = -4(x - xo) ⇒ y + 4x - (xo + yo) = 0
What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line 4x plus 2y equals 6?
4x+2y = 6 2y = -4x+6 y = -2x+3 Perpendicular slope is 1/2
What is the slope of a perpendicular line 4x plus y equals 2?
-- The slope of the graph of [ 4x + y = 2 ] is -4.-- The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.-- The slope of any line perpendicular to [ 4x + y = 2 ] is 1/4 .

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to -4x plus 5y equals -6?
It is: minus 1.25
Gradient of the line y -4x plus 3 is?
If you mean y = -4x+3 then the gradient of the line is -4 and the y intercept is 3
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
Which of the following line is perpendicular to y 4x plus 2?
If you mean: y = 4x+2 then the line perpendicular to it will have a slope of -1/4
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation y 4x 5?
If you mean: y = 4x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/4
What is the gradient for y equals 4x - 1?
3
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x plus 4y equals 12?
4y= -3x + 12 y = -3/4x + 3 The perpendicular slope is 4/3
How do you write the equation of the line with y-intercept equals 1 and parallel to y equals 4x-3?
parallel to y=4x-3 so they have the same gradient of 4 y intercept is positive 1 so y=4x+1
