Answer:
Perpendicular line y = (- 8/3)x - 76/3.
Parallel line y = (3/8)x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3/8
x + 3
1) Perpendicular line has negative reciprocal slope.
m = - 8/3
y = (- 8/3)x + b
Point (-8, - 4)
- 4 = (- 8/3)*(-8) + b
-4 - 64/3 = b
b = - 76/3
y = (- 8/3)x - 76/3
2) Parallel line has the same slope.
m = 3/8
y = (3/8)x + b
Point (-8, -4)
- 4 = (3/8)*(- 8) + b
- 4 + 3 = b
b = - 1
y = (3/8)x - 1
