Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x - 8. slope here is 2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the slope and change the sign.

slope 2 or 2/1.....flip it....1/2....change the sign...-1/2. so our perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/2.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

slope(m) = -1/2

(6,3)...x1 = 6 and y1 = 3

now we sub

y - 3 = -1/2(x - 6) <==== ur equation
