Answer:
y = 8x - 42
Step-by-step explanation:
First things first, the slope of a line perpendicular to this one is the
Opposite Inverse
This means that you flip the sign ( from - to +, or + to -) and you use the reciprocal.
The perpendicular slope to -1/8 is:
Opposite: 1/8
Inverse: 8/1
⊥Slope = 8
The equation so far is y = 8x + b
Since they give us a coordinate, we can input the x and y values
x value = 6
y value = 6
6 = 8(6) + b
6 = 48 + b
b = 6 - 48
b = -42
y = 8x - 42
