Answer:

y-2=1/8(x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Perpendicular lines have opposite slopes. To get the new slope, take the slope of the first line and turn it to make it the opposite reciprocal.

Since it's -8, the opposite of it is 1/8.

2. Now, use point slope: y-y1=m(x-x1). Plug in the values of the ordered pair and the slope into the equation.

y-2=1/8(x+8)

And that's your answer
