What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 4x – y = 9. Fully reduce your answer.
Help

ANSWER: -1/4

EXPLANATION:

4x-y=9

y=4x-9

(so slope/gradient of this line is 4 as y= mx+c and the coefficient of x here is 4)

(formula for perpendicular slopes) m1 multiplied by m2 = -1, where m= gradient

So, m1 x 4= -1

    m of perp line= -1/4

answer: evaluate the objective function at each vertex to determine which - and -values, if any, maximize or minimize the function. example: find the minimum value and maximum value of the objective function f ( x , y ) = 4 x + 5 y , subject to the following constraints
