Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
The 1st equation is;
y= 1/2 x-8.............(i)
Comparing the equation y= mx+c. We get;
Slope (m1) = 1/2
The equation of point which moves through point (-3,-4).
(y-y1) = m2 (x-x1). {Use one-point formula to find out the equation}
(y+4) = m2 (x+3)..………(ii)
Now, we need to find m2.
So, the condition of perpendicular lines: m1*m2= -1.
Therefore, m2 = -2.
So, let's keep value of m2 in eqaution (ii).
y+4 = -2(X+3)
y+4 = -2x-6
y = -2x -10.
Therefore, the eqaution is y= -2x-10.
