Which line is perpendicular to the line y=3x/8+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find the perpendicular line you must have the slope and a point on the given line. here you're missing the point. but in general to find any perpendicular line equation you must follow these steps: 1. Compute the slope of given line equation here (y=3x/8+2) 2.Compute the slope of the perpendicular line m_p=-1/slope of the given line 3.Compute the perpendicular line equation y=mx+b for slope m_p(found in step2) and passing through the point. but you don't have the point here so you can't find the value of b for the perpendicular line equation.
