You cannot, because it is not.
No, they are perpendicular.
It would be perpendicular to a line with the equation Y = 1/8 X.
The slope of the perpendicular is -(1/2) .
Slope of a line perpendicular to x-y=16
The line x = -4 is vertical, so a line that is perpendicular to it is horizontal, so its slope is 0.
y=-2 is parallel to the x-axis and perpendicular to the y-axis.
For the line 2x + y = 8 , the slope equals ( -2 ) so the required slope of the line which is perpendicular to it is equal to (+1/2 )
Slope of the given line is 3/7 So slope of perpendicular line is -7/3
Slope of given line = -3 Therefore, slope of perpendicular = 1/3
-3

Slope of given line = 3 So slope of perpendicular = -1/3
