Write the equation of a perpendicular line using point slope form

The video tutorial explains how to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to a given line and passes through a specific point. It covers the properties of perpendicular lines, such as intersecting at a 90-degree angle and having opposite reciprocal slopes. The tutorial demonstrates using the point-slope form to derive the equation, applying the distributive property, and solving for the final equation.

Describe the process of applying the distributive property in solving for y.

What is the new equation derived from the point (8, 5) and the slope of -1/4?
