The equation of a line perpendicular to the x-axis is of the form:
.
x = k
.
where k is a constant. This is the equation of a vertical line, and a vertical line is
perpendicular to the horizontal x-axis.
.
In this problem you are told that the line must go through the point (44, 46). This means
that x will have a constant value of 44. Therefore, the answer you are looking for is the equation:
.
x = 44
.
This tells you that any point having an x value of 44 is on the line. The following
points are therefore on the line: (44,-1200), (44,-10), (44,0), (44,5), (44,46), (44,50000) ...
and if you plot all these coordinate pairs you will see they form a vertical line through
the point x = 44 on the x-axis.
.
Hope this helps you to visualize what's going on here.
