given:
find the line passing through (2,2) and perpendicular to x=-9
The line x=-9 is a vertical line. Because it is vertical, its slope m is undefined.
Since we have a vertical line of x=-9, we need something perpendicular to it (a horizontal line) passing through (2,2). so, we can use y=2;it a horizontal line and is perpendicular to the vertical line, and it runs through the point (2,2)
