Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Any linear equation can be written as y = mx + b
The point will determine b
The slope (m) is found by this formula for a perpendicular line
m1 * m2 = - 1
m1 = -1/m2
m1 = -1/(-2/3)
m1 = 3/2
So our equation looks like
y = 3/2 x + b
Now we use the point (4,-8)
-8 = 3/2 (4) + b
-8 = 3(2) + b
-8 = 6 + b
b = - 14
The answer is
y = 4/2 - 14
