Write the point-slope form of the line that passes through (-8, 2) and is perpendicular to a line with a slope of -8

Respuesta :

Answer:

y - 2 = (1/8)(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is -8.  That means the slope of any line perpendicular to the given line will be the negative reciprocal of -8, which would be (1/8).

Then the desired equation is

y - 2 = (1/8)(x + 8)
