Answer:
y = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x = - 1 is the equation of a vertical line parallel to the y- axis
The equation of a line perpendicular to it will therefore be a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis with equation
y = c
where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through.
The line passes through (8, - 4 ) with y- coordinate - 4 , then
y = - 4 ← equation of perpendicular line
4 because that is what's multiplied throughout
what we can do is hmmmm get the LCD of all fractions, and multiply both sides by that LCD, let's see, we have denominators of 2, 3 and 12, so we can use the LCD of 12, and multiply both sides by 12 to do away with the denominators.
