Find the slope-intercept equation of the line with the following properties. Perpendicular to the line -9x-8y=96; containing the point (-8,-8)

Question

Can anyone please explain and help me please.

Answer 1

slope of given line: -8/9
slope of perpendicular is 9/8

so, using the point-slope form,

(y+8) = 9/8 (x+8)
