Question

Which equation is perpendicular to the y-axis and passes through the point (-5, -6)?

a. y=-6
b. y = -5
c. x=15
d. x=-6

Answer 1

The correct answer is Option D.The equation that is perpendicular to the y-axis and passes through the point (-5, -6) is x=-6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that is perpendicular to the y-axis and passes through the point (-5, -6) is d. x=-6.

A line that is perpendicular to the y-axis is a vertical line, and its equation has the form x = k, where k is a constant.

Since we want the line to pass through the point (-5, -6), the value of x at that point should be -5. So, the equation x = -6 satisfies both conditions and is the answer.
