Answer:

x = - 4

Explanation:

A line perpendicular to the x- axis is a vertical line parallel to the y- axis.

The equation of a vertical line is

x = c

where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through

The line passes through (- 4, - 2) with x- coordinate of - 4, thus

x = - 4 ← equation of perpendicular line
