Slop intercept form

Question

Write the slope intercept form of an equation of a line that passes through (-2,0) and is perpendicular to y=-8x+4

Answer 1

y = x/8 +b, plug in x=-2, y=0 to find b

0 =-2/8 +b

b = 1/4

y = x/8 +1/4 is slope intercept form for the perpendicular line through the given point
