Answer:
4) y = 9
5) x = -1
6) y = -5x − 9
Explanation:
4) x = 3 is a vertical line with an x-intercept of (3, 0). It has an undefined slope.
A perpendicular line to that will be y = a, which is a horizontal line with a y-intercept of (0, a) and a slope of 0. Since this line passes through (3, 9), the equation of the line must be y = 9.
5) The y-axis is x = 0. A parallel line that includes the point (-1, -2) is x = -1.
6) Parallel lines have the same slope, so:
y = -5x + b
To find the value of b (the y-intercept), plug in the point (-2, 1):
1 = -5(-2) + b
1 = 10 + b
b = -9
y = -5x − 9
