The equation and steps are...
First, find the slope of the original equation. In this case, the slope is -8. You know that perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so the negative reciprocal of -8 is 1/8.
Now, use this new slope and the given point to find the y-intercept:
y = mx + b
4 = (?)(2) + b
4 = ? + b
15/4 = b
Use the new slope and y-intercept to write the new linear equation:
Answer:
y = 1/8x + 15/4
Sorry if i'm wrong
seemed easy
