Plans for a bridge are drawn on a coordinate grid. One girder of the bridge lies on the line y = 6x - 2. A perpendicular brace passes through the point (6, 8). Write an equation of the line that contains the brace. Y Y 8 = (x+6) 8 -(x − 6) == x6 =3(y + 8) y-8= 3(x+6)

Question
Plans for a bridge are drawn on a coordinate grid. One girder of the bridge lies on the line y = 6x -
2. A perpendicular brace passes through the point (6, 8). Write an equation of the line that
contains the brace.
Y 8 = (x+6)
y − 8 = − 1² (x − 6)
x6 =3(y+8)
y - 8 = 3(x+6)
