1.what is the equation of the line perpendicular to    that passes through ? write your answer in slope-intercept form. show your work.

1. Use a compass to make arc marks which intersect above and below then connect.

2.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To construct a perpendicular line, use a compass to draw arc marks from one end of the segment through point P. Then repeat this again at the other end. This means at point P there will be two intersecting arc marks. Repeat the process down below with the same radius as used above. Then connect the two intersections.

2. The point slope form of a line is where . We write  

Since the line is to be perpendicular to the line shown it will have the negative reciprocal to the slope of the function 3x+y =-8. To find m, rearrange the function to be y=-8-3x. The slope is -3 and the negative reciprocal will be 1/3.

Simplify for slope intercept form.
