Identify an equation in point-slope form for the line perpendicular to
y= -2x + 8 that passes through (-3,9).

y - 9 = 1/2(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

For the equation y = -2x + 8, your slope, m, is -2. To find the slope for a line perpendicular to the original line, we do the opposite reciprocal of this number. The slope of the perpendicular line is 1/2.

Point-slope form is: y - y1 = m(x - x1) where x1 and y1 are the x- and y-coordinates of an ordered pair.

With this new slope for the perpendicular line, and the point we are given, we just plug in the info.

Your equation is: y - 9 = 1/2(x + 3)
