Put the equation in y= form (standard).
y = 1.5x - 5.5
perpendicular means opposite reciprocal slope (x modifier)(1.5 = 3/2)
y = -(2/3)x + b
In order to have an x-intercept at -8, the y value must equal 0 at x = -8.
So b = (-2/3) * 8 (slope of negative two thirds applied 8 times from x = -8 to x = 0)
b = -5.333
y = -2/3x - 5.333 would be the answer

What is the xintercept for this linear equation 6x - y equals 9?
-3
Are 5x-7y equals 6 and 5y-7x equals 4 perpendicular?
No, because a slope needs to be negative and opposite the other slope to be perpendicular and in this problem it is not.
Is the line x equals -3 parallel to the line y equals 3?
No, they are perpendicular.
Is the line 3x plus 3y equals 5 perpendicular to y equals -5 over 3x plus 3 over 5?
No, the two lines are not perpendicular.
Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to x equals -3?
"Y = any number" is perpendicular to "x = -3".
Is 3x plus 5y equals 12 perpendicular to 5x plus 3y equals 18?
No.
Are the lines y equals -x-4 and 5x plus 5y equals 20 perpendicular?
No. No. No. No.
Are 3x-4y equals -5 and 8x plus 6y equals -5 parallel or perpendicular lines?
They are perpendicular lines because the slopes are 3/4 and -4/3 respectively.
Is y equals 2x-6 and y equals one half plus 3 perpendicular to each other?
No but y = -1/2x+3 is perpendicular to y = 2x+6
