We know the slope is -1, because perpendicular line's slopes are always the negative reciprocal. We plug (5, -3) in to get:
-3 = -5 + b
b = 2
So we get C. y = -x + 2.

Answer:
Answer is 2a + 8 because 2 times a is 2a and 2 times 4 is 8
Check the picture below.
to get the equation of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, so let's use those in the picture


![[n][n+8]=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bn%5D%5Bn%2B8%5D%3D0)
if either or both of
![[n]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bn%5D)
and
![[n+8]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bn%2B8%5D)
are 0, i.e. if one or both of

and

are even. But both will be even if

is even, and odd otherwise, so any even

will be a solution, e.g.

.
