Question 587363: write an equation in slope intercept form for a line that passes through the given point and that is perpendicular to the given line. x= -7; (0,2) Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! is a vertical line through (-7,0)
Think of the equation as saying: " I am a line
that always sees on the x-axis, and
I don't care what is."
Any line perpendicular to this line will be a horizontal
line which means it has slope = .
If the general form of an equation is ,
where = slope, then I have
The line goes through (0,2), which is on the y-axis
It intersects the given vertical line at
(-7,2). Both these points tell me that the equation is
