Answer:

y=-2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you make the equation in y=mx+b form

x-2y=8

-2y=-x+8

y=1/2x-4

Then find the perpendicular line by finding the opposite reciprocal of the slope.

y=-2x-4

3. What is the slope of the line represented by the equation

dusya [7]

Answer:

Slope = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use y = mx + b to find the slope (m) Write the expression as an equation (-14y)-7x=0. Rewrite in slope-intercept form by removing the parentheses, adding 7x to both sides, dividing each term by -14, then writing in y = mx + b form, which is m=-1/2x. Remove the variable, it becomes your answer of -1/2.
