y = -1

y = 3

x = -1

x = 3

Answer 1

@bibby

Answer 2

follow the line as the x changes, which of these values remains constant?

Answer 3

c and d

Answer 4

oh hold up didn't read the question

Answer 5

Ok so the line is a horizontal line. what kind of line would be perpendicular to that line?

Answer 6

i dont understand

Answer 7

what kind of line would pass throughthat point and make right angles withthe line above ?*

Answer 8

vertical line

Answer 9

exactly. so which choices can we cancel out?

Answer 10

we would cancel out x = -1

x = 3

Answer 11

yeah. A/B are horizontal lines and we want a vertical line. it also has to pass through (3, -1)

(note: x = 3)

Answer 12

so it would pass through x=3?

Answer 13

the line itself is x=3. a vertical line that goes through (3,-1)

Answer 14

i dont get it

Answer 15

k

those boxes are right angles
