Question

WHY CAN'T ANYONE HELP ME? Find an equation of the line described. Write the equation in​ slope-intercept form when possible. Through (-5,-3)​, perpendicular to the​ y-axis.

Answer 1

y=-3

Explanation:

If the line is perpendicular to the y- axis, that means that it must be a horizontal line. Any horizontal line must be in the form y=b. Since the y-value of the point is -3, the equation of the line must be y=-3

Answer 2

y = -3

Explanation:

A line perpendicular to the y-axis is a horizontal line.

The equation of a horizontal line is of the form

y = k,

where k is the y-coordinate of all points on the line. Since point (-5, -3) is on the line, then the y-coordinate of all points on the line is -3.

Answer: y = -3
