The slope of line: y=4x−3≡y=mx+c is 4.
Hence the slope m of the line perpendicular to the given line: y=4x−3
m = - 1 4
Now, the equation of line passing through the point ( x 1 , y 1 ) ( 0 , 2 ) & having a slope m = - 1 4 is given as
y - y 1 - m ( x - x 1 )
y - 2 = - 1 4 ( x - 0 )
4 y - 8 = - x
x + 4 y - 8 = 0
