Question

Write an equation of the line through the point (-3,-8) and perpendicular to the line y=-7.

A. X=-3
C. y=
b. X=-8
d. y=-8

Answer 1

A hoped that helped , i needed to answer it so i can get an seee for my questions

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

y = - 7 is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.

A line perpendicular to it must therefore be a vertical line parallel to the y- axis with equation

x = c

where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through (- 3, - 8) with x- coordinate - 3, then

x = - 3 ← equation of perpendicular line
