Question

20 POINTS

Write an equation for the line that is
perpendicular to the x-axis at the point (5,0). What
is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

equation: y = 5

slope is zero

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 5

Explanation:

A perpendicular line that passes through the point (5, 0) is a vertical line in which all points have 5 as their x-coordinate.

The slope is undefined since the slope of all vertical lines is undefines.

Answer: x = 5
