Answer:
y=1/2x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
perpendicular lines have a neg. reciprocal for the slope.
for example:
in this equation y=-2x+1
-2 is the slope and the negative reciprocal would be 1/2
hence, the slop of our new line is 1/2
y=1/2x+b
we can substitute the coordinates given for x and y:
2=1/2(8)+b
2=4+b
-2=b
hence the new equation is y=1/2x-2
