I think we are missing some information.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We are, there was a graph right before this question. Give me a moment...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here we go.

OpenStudy (austinl):

That is a vertical line, so the perpendicular will be a horizontal line. Through the point (-2,3). Using your knowledge from your last question, what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-3, 2)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, (3, 2).

OpenStudy (austinl):

We are looking for an equation that is a horizontal line. That means that it will look similar to this, y=b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, 2=b?

OpenStudy (austinl):

No, We are given the point, (-2,3), (x,y) That means that the line will be y=3 Make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes! Thank you! :D
