QUESTION 18*2 POINTS Find the equation of the line through (8,-7) that is perpendicular to the line y=-(x)/(7)-7 Enter your answer using slope-intercept form.
Added by Angela D.
Step 1
The given line is y = -(x/7) - 7. The slope of this line can be determined by comparing it to the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is the slope. In this case, the slope is -(1/7). Show more…
