Hi!

Here's the solution:

Since the target line is perpendicular, its slope is -1/m, where m is the slope of the given line.
Slope- Intercept form is y = m*x + c, where m = slope and c = intercept
From the given equation, m = 1/8
So the slope of a line perpendicular to it = -1 / (1/8) = -8
So the target line is y = -8 * x + c' where c' = intercept.
This line passes through (2, -3).

So, -3 = -8 * 2 + c'
=> c' = 13
=> Equation of perpendicular line is y = -8*x + 13

Hope it helps.

Good Luck!!!
