Question

Which equation represents the line that is perpendicular to and passes through (-6,-9)?

A.
x = -9
B.
x = -6
C.
y = -9
D.
y = -4

Answer 1

C.y = -9

Explanation:

Answer 2

y = -9

Explanation:

Complete question;

Which equation represents the line y = 1/4 that is perpendicular to and passes through (-6,-9)?

The equation of the line in point slope form is y-y0 = m(x-x0)

Given the equation y = 1/4, the slope of the line is zero

Substitute the slope and the point into the formula;

y -(-9) = 0(x-(-6)

y + 9 = 0

y = -9

Hence the required equation is y = -9
