Answer:
y = - x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = 2x - 3 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 2
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
, thus
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (8, 5) into the partial equation
5 = - 4 + c ⇒ c = 5 + 4 = 9
y = - x + 9 ← equation of line
