(I am going to assume you are higher or in grade 9 math)

So use the y=mx + b

Use the negative reciprocal of the "m"(slope) part. Do this by simply flipping the fraction. This slope will be perpendicular to the original formula.

It would be perpendicular to a line with the equation Y = 1/8 X.


What is the equation of the line passing through the point -2 -3 and is perpendicular to the line 4x plus 3y -5 equals 0?

Perpendicular equation: 4x +3y -5 = 0 Perpendicular slope: -4/3 Slope of line: 3/4 Point of line: (-2, -3) Equation of line: y - -3=3/4(x - -2) => 4y - -12=3x - -6 => 4y = 3x -6 Therefore the equation of the line is: 4y = 3x -6 or 3x -4y -6 = 0
