Question 957891: I am trying to do the math to find the slope intercept form of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and I'm stumped
the math problem is:
y=3 (-5,-3)
I tried to use the y-y1=m(x-x1) formula but I'm coming up with the wrong answer. Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equation given is a horizontal line. The perpendicular line would be vertical, and the slope of a vertical line is undefined: it also does not intercept the y axis.
The line perpendicular to y=3 through the point (-5,-3) is x=-5
Again, a vertical line can not be written in slope intercept form.
