Answer: y=-(1/8)x+(21/2)


Explanation:

The new equation’s slope needs to be perpendicular to y=8x-1

To get the new slope, we take the negative reciprocal of the slope from above

8 —> -1/8

Now we have y=-(1/8)x+b but it needs to pass through (4,10), so we need to find the value of b that makes this possible.

Since (4,10) is in the form of (x,y) we can plug in these values into the new equation to solve for b:

y=-(1/8)x+b
10=-(1/8)4+b
10=(-1/2)+b
b=(21/2)

Now put b back into the new equation

y=-(1/8)x+b

y=-(1/8)x+(21/2)
