Answer :
Answer:
y = 8x + 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] x + 6 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{8} }[/tex] = 8 , then
y = 8x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 3, - 10 ) into the partial equation
- 10 = - 24 + c ⇒ c = - 10 + 24 = 14
y = 8x + 14 ← equation of perpendicular line
