Answer:
y = -8x + 23
Explanation:
8y=x-16
we need to turn this into slope-intercept form by dividing 8 on both sides
y = x/8 - 2
to make a line perpendicular from another, we must make sure the slope is the negative reciprocal of the original line.
Right now, it's the same as the original. To make it a negative reciprocal, switch the places of the denominator and numerator and flip the signs
-8x is the negative reciprocal of x/8
Does it go through (4,-9)? No.
To make sure it goes through 4,-9, we change it's y-intercept.
Plug in the coordinate given (4,-9) in the y = -8x + b ( we removed -2 since it's not the right answer.
y = -8x + b
(-9) = -8(4) + b
-9 = -32 + b
-9 +32= -32 + b +32
23 = b
plug in b and we get our answer
y = -8x + 23
