For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
On the other hand we have that if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1. So:
The given line is:
So we have:
We find
So, a line perpendicular to the one given is of the form:
We substitute the given point to find "b":
Finally we have:
In point-slope form we have:

Answer:
RS = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
RS² + RT² = TS² , that is
RS² + 6² = 8²
RS² + 36 = 64 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
RS² = 28 ( take the square root of both sides )
RS = =
= 2
