Answer:

y =1/4 x

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -4x -2

m = - 4 ( As, The product of slope of perpendicular lines is -1, so -4 *m= -1 => m =1/4)

The y-intercept of the line that passes through the given point  (-4,-1) is

-1 = 1/4(-4) + b

-1= -1 +b

b=0

The equation of the line that passes through the given point  (-4,-1) is

 y =mx +b

 y = 1/4x +0

y= 1/4 x
