What is the slope of 7x+8y=2?
Put it into slope-intercept form:
---------------The equation transformed. Slope is .
The line perpendicular to that one must have slope .
Using general form of the slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, solve for b.
.
Now, use your given point, and the found slope, to find the desired line containing the point and perpendicular to .
That final process:
In slope-intercept form, you want the equation,
