Write an equation of the line passing through the point (8,7) that is perpendicular to the line y+7=-7/17(x+8) A. y= -7/17x+63/17

B. y=7/17x+7

C. y= -17/7x-87/7

D. y= -17/7x + 7

Plz help asap!!!

y= 17x/7 - 87/7

The answer would be C is the slope is positive so I'm assuming it's a typo

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) When a slope is perpendicular that means that you do an opposite reciprocal so -7/17 turns into 17/7

2.) Use point slope form and solve for y

y-y1= m(x-x1)

y-7= 17/7 (x-8)

y-7= 17x/7 - 136/7

y= 17x/7 - 87/7

the answer is b.
