Hi,

line through (-2,0) and perpendicular to 8x-3y=7  

0r y+=+green%288%2F3%29x++-+7%2F3  m = 8%2F3 |standard slope-intercept form 

new Line:  m = -3%2F8

lst  y+-+0+=+%28-3%2F8%29%28x%2B2%29   |point-slope form, y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+m%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29

     y = -3⁄8  x - 6/8

   3x + 8y = -6      |standard form
