Question 612935: write an equation for a line in slope intercept form passing through(6, -10) and perpendicular to y=5
Answer by jsmallt9(3758)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! - The line y = 5 is a horizontal line (with a slope of 0)
- Perpendicular to horizontal is vertical
- Vertical lines represent all the points with a certain x coordinate. The equations for these lines have the form:
x = number
where "number" is the x coordinate all the points on the line share. - If the point (6, -10) is to be on this vertical line, then its x coordinate, 6, is the x coordinate all the points on the lines share
- So the desired equation is:
x = 6
