Answer: the equation is y=-1/3x

Thanks!

Answer:

y - 2 = (-1/3)(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.  Thus, a line perpendicular to the given y = 3x - 8 has slope -1/3.

The desired equation is thus y - k = m(x - h), or, specifically,

y - 2 = (-1/3)(x - 2)
