Original line equation: y=-4x+4
Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocals, so the slope of the perpendicular line would be 1/4x.
Perpendicular line equation: y=1/4x+b
Plug in the coordinates that the line passes through to solve for b. Plug -8 in for x and 2 in for y.
2=1/4(-8)+b
Multiply.
2=-2+b
Add 2 to both sides.
4=b
Equation of the perpendicular line: y=1/4x+4
Hope this helps! :)
