Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (–6, 2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is x = –10, then write the equation of the line that passes through the point (–6, 2) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is x = –10.

Question

texaschic101 · Answer

x = -10.......this is a vertical line with an undefined slope. Therefore, the parallel line would be : x = -6

a line perpendicular to a vertical line is a horizontal line. Therefore, your perpendicular line would be : y = 2
