Describe and correct the error the student made when writing the equation of the line that passes through (-8,5)
and is perpendicular to y = 4x + 2
y-5 = 2(x-(-8))
y-5=+x+2
y-5+5 = 1x+2 +5
y=+x+7 X
Describe the error the student made. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box(es) to complete your choice.
O A. The student should have subtracted from both sides of the equation in order to isolate y.
O B. The student did not simplify the right side of the first equation correctly. Simplifying it correctly yields the equation y-5=
OC. The student should have substituted for X1 and for yı in the point-slope form y-yı = m(x-x1).
OD. The student should have used
as the slope of the perpendicular line.
