Question

45. Write an equation in slope–intercept form for a line that passes through (10,0) and is perpendicular to x = 12.A. y = 0B. y = 10C. x = 10D. y = 12

Answer 1

Given:

The required line is passes through (10, 0) and is perpendicular to x = 12.

To find:

An equation in slope-intercept form.

The equation of the line in standard form is

`x=12`

This is a vertical line, so the perpendicular line will be horizontal of the form

`y=b`

Since we are given that the line should pass through the point (10, 0), then the equation of the line is:

`y=0`

Final answer:

The required line equation will be:

`y=0`
