Answer:
Slope of the line perpendicular to the given line = [tex]- \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If two are lines are perpendicular to each other,
the product of their slopes = - 1 .
That is ,
[tex]m_ 1 \times m_2 = -1[/tex]
Slope of the given line :
[tex]m_ 1 = 4[/tex]
Hence slope of the line perpendicular to it :
[tex]4 \times m_ 2 = - 1 \\\\\frac{4}{4} \times m_2 = - \frac{1}{4} \\\\1 \times m_2 = - \frac{1}{4}\\\\m_ 2 = \frac{-1}{4}[/tex]
