Question 750877: Find the equation of a line passing through the point (- 10, 1) and perpendicular to the line y = 2. Found 2 solutions by jim_thompson5910, stanbon:Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Anything perpendicular to y = 2 will be of the form x = h, which is a vertical line. The value of h must be -10 since all points on x = -10 have an x coordinate of -10.

----
y=2 is a horizontal line.
All perpendicular lines must be vertical with undefined slope.
