As for example the perpendicular equation to line y = 2x+6 could be y = -1/2x+6 because the negative reciprocal of 2x is -1/2x

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to and passes through the point (8 3)?
That depends on the equation that it is perpendicular too which has not been given but both equations will meet each other at right angles.
What is the equation of the line passing through 3 -4 and it is perpendicular to the line 5x -2y equals 3?
Known equation: 5x -2y = 3 or y = 5/2x -3/2 Slope of equation: 5/2 Slope of perpendicular equation: -2/5 Perpendicular equation: y --4 = -2/5(x -3) => 5y = -2x -14 Perpendicular equation in its general form: 2x+5y+14 = 0
What equation describes a line that passes through the point (-14) and is perpendicular to the line 4x-3y-9?
If you mean point (-1, 4) and equation of 4x-3y = -9 then y = 4/3x+3 Slope of equation: 4/3 Perpendicular slope: -3/4 Perpendicular equation: y-4 = -3/4(x--1) => 4y = -3x+13
How do you Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y 3x plus 8 and passes through the point (-3 4).?

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to -x y 7 and passes through -1 -1?
Without an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of y and 7 it can't be considered to be a straight line equation therefore finding its perpendicular equation is impossible.
