Answer:
x + 2y = 2
Explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
given the line with equation
2x - y = 5 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
- y = - 2x + 5 ( multiply through by - 1 )
y = 2x - 5 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 2
given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
, then
y = -
x + c ← is the partial equation
to find c substitute (- 8, 5 ) into the partial equation
5 = -
(- 8) + c = 4 + c ( subtract 4 from both sides )
1 = c
y = -
x + 1 ← equation of perpendicular line in slope- intercept form
multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction
2y = - x + 2 ( add x to both sides )
x + 2y = 2 ← equation of perpendicular line in standard form
