Write an equation of the line that contains (1, 8) and is perpendicular to y=3/4x+1

hi there!

the correct answer to this question is: y= -4/3x -6

Step-by-step explanation:

whenever you need solve for the perpendicular equation, it means you have to find the negative reciprocal of the slope, which in this case is -4/3

then you need to solve for the y-intercept by plugging it into the equation

8 = -4/3(1) +b solve for b which in this case you get -6 so the new equation should be y=-4/3x - 6

step-by-step explanation:

through just a quick inspection, one can see that the graph of this cubing function starts in quadrant iii and ends in quadrant i.   when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is (0, 3).
