Question

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 6 and passes through the point (–4, –3)? x = –4 x = –3 x = x = 6

Answer 1

-4

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = -4

Explanation:

The line y=6 is a horizontal line through the point (0,6) on the y-axis. A line perpendicular to it will be vertical and through the x-axis. This means its equation will be x=a where a is the x-coordinate. Since it must pass through the point (-4,-3) then the equation is x = -4.
