Question 499371: Find equation to line with given properties. express equation in slope intercept form
perpendicular to 8x+y=56; contains the point (8,-9) Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 8x +y = 56
y = -8x + 56
.
Perpendicular line will have a slope = 1/8.
.
y = 1/8x + b
.
We want it go through (8,-9), so we use that to find b.
.
-9 = 1/8(8) + b
-9 = 1 + b
b = -10
.
y = (1/8)x -10
.
