0:0 x = žy + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the line

The slope-intercept form of a line is given by:

Being:

m = the slope of the line

b = the y-intercept

We can also use the point-slope form of the line:

Being:

(h,k) = A point that belongs to the line

Two lines of slopes m1 and m2 are perpendicular if:

We are given the line:

Whose slope is m1=-2

Thus, the perpendicular line has a slope of:

The required line contains the point (-8,1), thus the equation is:

Removing the parentheses:

Adding 1:

Operating:
