Question

what is the equation of the line passing through (3.67,9.5) and perpendicular to the y axis?

Answer 1

@ExsNOhs sorry to bother u again but can u help me

Answer 2

Sure, it's no problem. :]

Answer 3

Do you know how to find slope?

Answer 4

Wait, forget that, wrong thing.

Answer 5

y=mx+b, do you know this formula?

Answer 6

yes i do

Answer 7

Wait, urgh, PreCalculus is making me forget the easy stuff. I have a headache, lol. >___<

Answer 8

lol

Answer 9

Hold on, I got you. Just gotta think back to Algebra. Lol.

Answer 10

Okay, so you know what perpendicular means, correct?

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

Alright, and you know that the x-axis is a horizontal line?

Answer 13

yup

Answer 14

Alright, so in order for the line to be perpendicular to the x axis, it has to be a vertical line? Haha, I'm getting there slowly, just making sure you understand.

Answer 15

Simple, yeah?

Answer 16

aha

Answer 17

but it perpendicular to the y axis

Answer 18

Did I misread? XD

Answer 19

I did misread, so okay. The line that contains the point will be a horizontal line.

Answer 20

exactly

Answer 21

So, the answer would be the Y-Value in the point.

Answer 22

oooo and what if it was parallel to the X axis?

Answer 23

It's the same thing. Horizontal lines have no slope, just like the x axis. They're both flat.

Answer 24

ah okay i understand

Answer 25

Kool, happy to help.
