PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

You are correct, the answer is (y=3)=-2(x-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, let's first make the equation of the perpendicular line be in slope intercept form. Add 4y to both sides.

2x=4y+7

Subtract 7.

2x-7=4y

And divide by 4.

y=1/2x7/4

Here, the slope is 1/2, so the slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal, or -2.

Finally, substitute the given point into the point slope formula to get (y+3)=-2(x-8)
