You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First of all, the line x=5 is a vertical line.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So any perpendicular line to x=5 would be horizontal.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the line is horizontal the slope is zero.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the line woul be y = b.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "which means that for any value of x, the y = b.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the (6,9) must be in the line, then b = 9.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the answer is y = 9 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
