2x − y = 4 has a slope of 2
so your new line must have a slope of -1/2
new equation:
y - 5 = (-1/2)(x + 8)
clean it up to whatever version you need
Write the equation of the line that satisfies the given conditions. Express the final equation in standard form.
Contains the point (-8, 5) and is perpendicular to the line 2x − y = 4
