Answer 1

Answer:

  y +8 = -4(x -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

You recognize that the given equation is in slope-intercept form:

  y = mx + b

with m = 1/4 and b = 5.

A perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this value of m, so the desired slope is ...

  -1/m = -1/(1/4) = -4

The point-slope form of the equation for a line is ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . for slope m through point (h, k)

Using m=-4 and (h, k) = (8, -8), the point-slope form of the equation for the line you want is ...

  y +8 = -4(x -8)
