To make it easier just assume there is no decimal point then just work out the 32÷4 where we know that 4 goes into 32 8 times so you get 8 remember the decimal point and since it was one decimal place you will push the decimal over to the left of 8 and that is how you get 0.8
The slope of the perpendicular line will be 2. Remember, a perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal.
So, we can make the equation 
. We need to find b, and put b in.
To find b, put in the numbers of y and x.
Solve for b:
Now replace b in the original equation with 12 and that will be the answer:
The answer is 
.
Answer:
y = (-1/2)x + 21/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation:
y - 2x + 7
Coordinates = (5,8)
Find:
Perpendicular equation
Computation:
y = mx + c
y - 2x + 7
y = 2x - 7
So,
m = 2
The negative reciprocal of 2 is -1/2
So,
For,
Coordinates = (5,8)
y = mx + c
8 = (-1/2)(5) + c
8 = -5/2 + c
c = 8 + 5/2
c = 21 /2
So,
y = mx + c
y = (-1/2)x + 21/2
