Answer :

Answer:

y = x/2 - 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 2y = 8

2y = -4x + 8 Divide both sides by 2

y = -2x + 4

The slope of the line perpendicular to this line:

m = -(-1/2)

m = 1/2

Since the line passes through point (-1,-1) then

m = (y - y1) / (x - x1)

[tex] \frac{1}{2} = \frac{y - ( - 1)}{x - ( - 1)} = \frac{y + 1}{x + 1} [/tex]

2(y + 1) = x + 1

2y + 2 = x + 1

2y = x + 1 - 2 = x - 1

2y = x - 1 Divide both sides by 2

y = x/2 - 1/2
