Answer 1

ANSWER

$y = \frac{10}{3} x - 18$

EXPLANATION

The given line has slope

$m_{1} = - 0.3$

The line that is perpendicular to this line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of -0.3

$m_2 = \frac{ - 1}{ - 0.3}$

$m_2 = \frac{10}{ 3}$

If the line e passes through (3,-8), then the equation is given by,

$y - - 8 = \frac{10}{3} (x - 3)$

$y = \frac{10}{3} x - 10 - 8$

$y = \frac{10}{3} x - 18$
