Answer:
y = - 3x + 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = x + 8 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m =
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
= - 3, so
y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line
To find c substitute (6, - 2) into the partial equation
- 2 = - 18 + c ⇒ c = - 2 + 18 = 16
y = - 3x + 16 ← equation of perpendicular line
