Can someone actually help me with this please!

y = -2x  + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

When 2 lines are perpendicular, the relationship between their slopes m1 and m2 may be stated as

m1m2 = -1

Given the line

y = 1/2 x + 8

Comparing with the general equation of a line y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the intercept

m = m1 = 1/2

Hence the slope of the perpendicular line m2

= -1/1/2

= -2

Given that the line passes through the points (1,5)

using the equation

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 5 = -2(x - 1)

y = -2x +2 + 5

y = -2x  + 7

x=-7

step-by-step explanation:

x+3=-10

-10+3=-7

x=-7

yes.. it's proven to be 36.
