Write an equation in slope-intercept form of a line that passes through the point (8,-0) and is perpendicular to the line x - 3y = 15. y = 3x −24y = 3x −24

y = 3x + 24

y = -3x + 24

y = -3x - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

let eqn be y = mx + b.

3y = x - 15

y = 1/3x - 5

perpendicular means product of grad = -1

hence m = -3.

sun (8, 0):

8 = -3(0) + b

b = 8

therefore, equation if the line is y = -3x + 8
