Answer:

y = -1/4x + 3

Explanation:

Because you are finding the perpendicular slope, you need to find the negative reciprocal of the original line, which would be -1/4. You then use point slope form to find the y-intercept with the slope and given point:

y - 5 = -1/4(x + 8). That equals to y = -1/4x + 3.

So the equation of this line is y = -1/4x + 3.
