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
