What is the equation of a line perpendicular to the x-
axis that passes through the point (-5,-1)? What is the
slope of this line?

Answer 1

The equation is x = -5

The slope is 0

Explanation:

If the line is perpendicular to the x axis, that means it is a vertical line.

Vertical lines only reach one x value, which is -5 in this case.

So, the equation will simply be x = -5.

The slope is 0.
