Question

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to x=-6 and that passes through the point (-1 -2)

Answer 1

Equation of the line is y= 2 x

Explanation:

Given that the line is perpendicular to x= -6 which tells us that the y intercept is zero. Now, we need to find out the slope,

slope =
`(y)/(x)` =
`(-2)/(-1)` = 2

Hence, the equation of the line is y= 2 x
