Write an equation in slope-intercept form that is perpendicular to the equation y=4x+8 and passes through the point (-12,-1)

y=-1/4x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given slope: 4

Perpendicular slope: -1/4 (change the sign, and flip the slope)

y=mx+b

Plug the order pair into the equation

-1= -1/4(-12)+b

-1=3+b

subtract three on both sides to get b by itself

b=-4

Therefore, y=-1/4x-4

answer: the resulting cross section is a rectangle. solution: a plane parallel to the base of a triangular prism will intersect a cross section that is the same shape as its bases. so the cross section is a triangle.
