Question

Find the equation of the line.

The line is perpendicular to y=1/8x+2 and passes through the point (3,5).

The equation of the line is

y=

Answer 1

Explanation:

the slope of the line perpendicular is -8 (negative recriporal of line)

substitue (3,5) in equation: y = -8x+b

5 = -24+b

b = 29

the equation is y = -8x+29
