Answer:


y = (3)/(5) x + (49)/(5)

Explanation:

slope = -5/3

Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other: m1 * m2 = –1

With the new slope, use the slope intercept form and the point to calculate the intercept: y = mx + b

the new slope = 3/5

y = 3/5 x + b

8 = -9/5 +b

b = 40/5 + 9/5 = 49/5

y=3/5x + 49/5
