Any line whose slope is the negative reciprocal of that line's slope will be perpendicular to it. Given the format in which it's written, we can see that this line's slope is -8. This means that any line with a slope of 1/8 will be perpendicular to it. The most obvious one being:

y = x/8 + 6

But there are an infinite number of lines with that slope, and thus an infinite number of lines that are perpendicular to the given one. For example, the line:

y = x/8 + 258734095874390587423

is just as valid an answer.
