Answer:
y = - 5x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Intercept = 8
Slope = - 5
Recall, the general. Slope - intercept equation :
y = bx + c
Where;
b = slope ; c = intercept
Plugging the Given slope and intercept values, equation becomes ;
y = - 5x + 8
A- Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. Therefore a perpendicular line to 2x-8 will have a slope of -1/2. Once solved in slope intercept form, choice A shows a line of slope -2/4, equivalent to -1/2
