Find the equation of the line which passes through the point (-4,12) and is perpendicular to the given line. express your answer in slope intercept form. the slope is -7

y = 1/7x + 88/7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx +b

since it is perpendicular you have to get the negative reciprocal of the slope which is 1/7

y = 1/7x + b then you would plug in your points

12 = 1/7(-4) + b and then solve for b

12 = -4/7 + b

+ 4/7

88/7 = b

y = 1/7x + 88/7

college

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
