Answer:
y= -1/4x + 14
Explanation:
- the slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original line, so the slope of the new line is -1/4
- now, y= -1/4 x + c, to find c we substitute the values of x and y from the given point [ (8,12) ]
- (12) = -1/4*(8) + c, after you rearrange you get c = 14
- place the value of c to get y= -1/4x + 14
