Question

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to x=-6x=−6x, equals, minus, 6 and that passes through the point (-1,-2)(−1,−2)left parenthesis, minus, 1, comma, minus, 2, right parenthesis.

Answer 1

y=-2

Explanation:

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

y = -2

Explanation:

The given line is a vertical line, so a perpendicular line will be a horizontal line. It will have an equation of the form ...

y = constant

In order for the line to go through the given point, the constant in the equation must be the same as the y-coordinate of the point: -2.

Your perpendicular line is ...

y = -2
