Question

Write an equation which passes through (-5,3) and is perpendicular to the x-axis.

Answer 1

x=-5

Answer 2

Also show the work please.

Answer 3

we know that any equation x=# is perpendicular to the x-axis (it is an undefined line, a vertical line, and the x-axis is a horizontal line). Then, it has to go through the point (-5,3), so x must have a value of -5. Therefore, one gets x=-5

Answer 4

Ohh I get it now. Thanks I wasn't at school when my teacher explained on how to do it.
