Question

The graph of f passes through (-2,7) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is x= -16.

The equation of the function is

Answer 1

y = 7

Explanation:

x = -16 is a vertical line.

All lines perpendicular to a vertical line are horizontal lines. All horizontal lines have a slope of 0

so m = 0, y = 7, x = -2

y = mx + b

7 = 0(-2) + b

b = 7

so,

y = 0x + 7

y = 7
