which of the following is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y=-1/8x-2 and goes throw the point (-2,-3)

a. y=8x+13
b. y=-8x-19
c. y= -1\8x-13/4
d. y=1\8x-11/-4

Line perpendicular to y = -1/8x - 2 doesn't have the same slope.
So we can eliminate, c. and d.

Then, because the function is decreseasing (a<0), the perpendicular line should be representative of an increasing function.

Answer a : 8x + 13
