Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Any linear equation can be written as y = mx + b

The point will determine b

The slope (m) is found by this formula for a perpendicular line

m1 * m2 = - 1

m1 = -1/m2

m1 = -1/(-2/3)

m1 = 3/2

So our equation looks like

y = 3/2 x + b

Now we use the point (4,-8)

-8 = 3/2 (4) + b

-8 = 3(2) + b

-8 = 6 + b

b = - 14

The answer is

y = 4/2 - 14
