The equation and steps are...

First, find the slope of the original equation. In this case, the slope is -8. You know that perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so the negative reciprocal of -8 is 1/8.


Now, use this new slope and the given point to find the y-intercept:

y = mx + b

4 = (?)(2) + b

4 = ? + b

15/4 = b

Use the new slope and y-intercept to write the new linear equation:

Answer:

y = 1/8x + 15/4


Sorry if i'm wrong

seemed easy
