Answer: I think it’s the 8y= 7x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to make it easier, put it in slope intercept form, which that is y= -8/7x + 1/7. Since perpendicular lines are opposite sign reciprocal of the original equation, we know the slope of the perpendicular line would be positive, since the original was negative. So the answer would be 8y = 7x + 6

Answer:

  (b)  8y = 7x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can always make a perpendicular line by swapping the x- and y-coefficients, and negating one of them. In the process, ignore the constant.

Swapping the coefficients in the given equation gives you ...

  -8y = 7x + constant

Negating the y-coefficient, you get ...

  8y = 7x + constant . . . . . the equation of a perpendicular line

Using constant = 6 to match an answer choice, you can see that this matches ...

  8y = 7x +6
