The equation +x+=+-3+ is a vertical line through
the point ( -3, y ), where +y+ can be any +y+
------------------
Any line perpendicular to this line will be a
horizontal line
------------------
The equation of a horizontal line which goes
through ( 8,4 ) will be +y+=+4+ because this
horizontal line will go through all points ( x, 4 )
where +x+ can be any +x+
---------------------------
So the equation is: +y+=+4+
