Answer:

y=3/4x-11

Step-by-step explanation:

When a line is perpendicular to another line, their slope is the opposite reciprocal of that. So in this case, the slope of the perpendicular line would be positive 3/4. Next, plug in the points (8,-5) in the y=mx+b formula along with the new slope. In conclusion, the new point slope formula is y=3/4x-11.

Hope this helps! :)
