Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the given line

please explain if you can, but if you dont want to its okay​

Answer 1

• y = 5

Explanation:

The line x = 3 is parallel to y- axis, the perpendicular line is going to be parallel to x- axis and will have an equation:

• y = a

Since it passes through the point (-2, 5), it will have a = 5:

• y = 5 is the line we need
