show your work ​

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number x. The statement "...2 times a number" if the number is x looks like this:

2x

"8 less than" that looks like this:

Putting the whole thing together:

2x - 8

for this case we have by definition, if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

then, given the following line:

so,

we are looking for m_ {2}:

then, the line is given by:

we find "b" replacing the given point:

finally, the equation is:

option c
