please answer my question: write an equation of the line that passes through (-5,3) and is perpendicular to the x-axis in slope-intercept form
--------------------
Perpendicular to the x-axis is parallel to the y-axis, or vertical.
That means x is constant, regardless of the the value of y.
--> x = 5
There is no slope-intercept form possible, unless you make it
0y = -x + 5

Answer by Mathtut(3670) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=0 is the x axis and we know the slope is zero so we have the slope and a point
:
the slope of a vertical line which would be perpendicular to the x axis is undefined . So the answer would be a vertical line with an equation of x=-5 which is parallel to the y axis and 5 units to the left of it.
