Answer:

y = -1/4x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the slope of the line pictured

(1,4) and (0,0)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (0-4)/(0-1)

   = -4/-1

   =4

The perpendicular line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal

-1 /(4)

-1/4

We have a point and a line

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is  the y intercept

y = -1/4x +b

-1 = -1/4(8) +b

-1 = -2+b

Add 2 to each side

b = 1

y = -1/4x+1

Answer:

D y = -¼x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept = 0

Slope: (4-0)/(1-0) = 4

y = 4x + 0

y = 4x

Slope of the Perpendicular line:

-¼

Using (8,-1)

y - (-1) = -¼(x - 8)

y + 1= -¼x + 2

y = -¼x + 1
