Question 308791: The directions state to write the equations of the following lines and leave the answer in standard form.
The problem states: a line perpendiciular and containing point (-2,-4)
For this problem, I am aware of the fact that if a line is perpendicular to another line, their slopes are opposite recipricols. Although, I am not sure what the slope would be or the final equation. Please help! This is a graded mathe assignment!

The directions state to write the equations of the following lines and leave the answer in standard form.
The problem states: a line perpendiciular to the line y = 7 and containing point (-2,-4)
-----------
Draw the picture of the line and the point.
-------
y = 7 has a slope of zero and is a horizontal line.
---
You want the equation of a vertical line thru (-2,-4)
That equation would be x = -2
