Answer:
y= (1/4)x+2
Explanation:
Comparing y =-4x + 8 to the slope-intercept form y=mx+b
• Slope = -4.
Let the slope of the new line = m
Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.
Therefore:
The slope of the perpendicular line = 1/4
Since the line passes through the point (8,4), we have:
The equation of the perpendicular line is y= (1/4)x+2
