Question

could anybody explain an equation that makes a line perpendecular to (8,-5)?

Answer 1

Well, first we need to find the slope.

Answer 2

the problem didnt have any slope to it.

Answer 3

\[m = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} }\]
m = the slope
Perpendicular means it is opposite and reciprocal.
for example: 3 is perpendicular to -1/3

Find the slope, change the sign, then take the reciprocal.

Answer 4

thank you both for trying to help!

No, literally no. No-one can explain how anything can be orthogonal to a point.
