Write the equation of the line perpendicular to the graph of x=3 and passing through the point (4, -5)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what type of line is x=3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one with an undefined slope? a horizontal one on the x axis? what do you mean @amistre64

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a vertical one, thru the x axis

OpenStudy (amistre64):

since the line x=3 is a vertical line, then youve already alluded that the perp line will be horizontal ... and hence thru the y axis

OpenStudy (amistre64):

which line, thru the y axis, hits the point (x=4,y=-5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
