Question 653416: Write the equation of the line through each point. Use slope-intercept form.
through (-6,2) and perpendicular to x=-2
I'm a little confused as to how to do it with just the x variable. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

is a vertical line through all points of the form

A line perpendicular to a vertical line is a horizontal line. Horizontal lines are represented by equations of the form:



Where is the -coordinate of any point through which the line passes. So if your desired line goes through , then the equation must be:
