Answer 1

`y = (10)/(3) x - 18`

Step-by-step explanation

The given line has slope

`m_(1) = - 0.3`

The line that is perpendicular to this line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of -0.3

`m_2 = ( - 1)/( - 0.3)`

`m_2 = (10)/( 3)`

If the line e passes through (3,-8), then the equation is given by,

`y - - 8 = (10)/(3) (x - 3)`

`y = (10)/(3) x - 10 - 8`

`y = (10)/(3) x - 18`
