Then a is Half of 45 wich is 22.5 I believe.
Y - 3 = 8/3(x + 2)...the slope here is 8/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -3/8
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -3/8
(-2,3)....x1 = -2 and y1 = 3
now we sub
y - 3 = - 3/8(x - (-2)...not done yet
y - 3 = -3/8(x + 2) <===
3/10 is the simplest form and the equivalent decimal is 0.30
