Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

y = 2 is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis

A line perpendicular to this then is 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.

We are not given a point that the line passes through so choose any value for c

x = 3 ← equation of perpendicular line
