which line is perpendicular to the line y = 3x/8 + 6: y=3x/8-6 y=-3x/8+6 y=8x/3+3 y=-8/3x(-1,2)+3
+23245 The line: y = (3/8)x + 6 has a slope of 3/8.
Any line perpendicular to this line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of 3/8. Ignore whatever is the y-intercept; that number has no effect upon whether or not two lines are perpendicular.
The negative reciprocal of 3/8 is -8/3.
So, the correct choice is: y =(-8/3)x + 3.
I have no idea why there is a '(-1,2)' within this equation.
