The line equation in slope-intercept form is , where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
If two lines are perpendicular, the slope (m1) of one line is opposite reciprocal of the second line slope (m2). It can be represented as, .
The slope of the lineis 4.
So the line perpendicular to above equation has the slope
Substitute (x1, y1) = (1, 1) and in the point-slope form equation
(Substitute (x1, y1) and m values)
(Apply distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac)
(Add 1 to each side)
(Additive inverse property:
) \ \
(Additive identity property:
)
(Add:

The required slope-intercept form of the line equation is .
