Line mm passes through (0,1)(0, 1) and is perpendicular to y=14x+5y = \frac{1}{4}x + 5. What is the equation of line mm?

  • A

    y=4x+1y = 4x + 1

  • B

    y=14x+1y = -\frac{1}{4}x + 1

  • C

    y=4x+1y = -4x + 1

    check_circle
  • D

    y=14x+1y = \frac{1}{4}x + 1

Explanation

Perpendicular slope to 14\frac{1}{4} is 4-4. With y-intercept 1: y=4x+1y = -4x + 1.
