Question 387633: what is an equation of a line that is perpendicular to x = -3? Please explain how you got this equation.
Answer by gwendolyn(128) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = -3 is a vertical line, because x has the same value regardless of the value of y.
The perpendicular of a vertical line is a horizontal line, one which has the same value of y regardless of the value of x. We can choose any constant for the value. So, choosing one at random to provide an answer:
y = 2
