What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 6 and passes through the point (–4, –3)? x = –4 x = –3 x = x = 6

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The line y=6 is a horizontal line through the point (0,6) on the y-axis. A line perpendicular to it will be vertical and through the x-axis. This means its equation will be x=a where a is the x-coordinate. Since it must pass through the point (-4,-3) then the equation is x = -4.

step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
