Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find an equation of a line that's perpendicular to x=1 that also passes through the point (8,-9).
Note that x=1 is a <em>vertical line </em>since x is 1 no matter what y is.
This means that if our new line is perpendicular to the old, then it must be a <em>horizontal line</em>.
So, since we have a horizontal line, then our equation must be our y-value of our point.
Our y-coordinate of our point (8,-9) is -9.
Therefore, our equation is:

And this is in standard form.
And we're done!
It is 5x5x5 which equals 125
(2000 - 23.75) / 8 =
1976.25 / 8 =
