Answer:

y = 8x - 42

Step-by-step explanation:

First things first, the slope of a line perpendicular to this one is the

Opposite Inverse

This means that you flip the sign ( from - to +, or + to -) and you use the reciprocal.

The perpendicular slope to -1/8 is:

Opposite: 1/8

Inverse: 8/1

⊥Slope = 8

The equation so far is y = 8x + b

Since they give us a coordinate, we can input the x and y values

x value = 6

y value = 6

6 = 8(6) + b

6 = 48 + b

b = 6 - 48

b = -42

y = 8x - 42
