The \( x \)-intercept of line \( L \) is \( (-4,0) \).

Solución

The given line is \( y = -4x - 3 \) with slope \( -4 \). A line perpendicular to this one has a slope that satisfies \[ (-4) \cdot m = -1, \] so \[ m = \frac{1}{4}. \] Since line \( L \) is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point \( (4,2) \), its equation in point-slope form is \[ y - 2 = \frac{1}{4}(x - 4). \] To find the \( x \)-intercept of line \( L \), we set \( y = 0 \): \[ 0 - 2 = \frac{1}{4}(x - 4). \] This simplifies to \[ -2 = \frac{1}{4}(x - 4). \] Multiplying both sides by 4 gives: \[ -8 = x - 4. \] Adding 4 to both sides, we find: \[ x = -4. \] Thus, the \( x \)-intercept of line \( L \) is \( (-4,0) \).

Extra Insights

To graph the line \( y = -4x - 3 \), you'll see a steep line going downwards with a negative slope. The slope of -4 means for every unit you move right, you move down 4 units, making it quite steep! Now, when you drag the red point to the coordinates \( (4, 2) \), this point sits above the line since the y-value is greater than what the line would predict at that x-value. Next, to find the x-intercept of line L, which is perpendicular to our original line and passes through the point \( (4, 2) \), remember that perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other. So, if the slope of our original line is -4, the slope of line L will be \( \frac{1}{4} \). Using point-slope form from point \( (4, 2) \), we can find the equation of line L. Solving for the x-intercept, you’ll discover it crosses the x-axis at the ordered pair \( (6, 0) \).
