Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and satisfies the given condition. (-6,2); perpendicular to y=2

Answer 1

Hey Nodah!

The line \(\large\rm y=2\) if you wrote it in slope-intercept form would be \(\Large\rm y=0x+2\)

So what is the slope of this line that they gave us?

Answer 2

0

Answer 3

Yes.
Oooo never mind, let's not do it that way. I think that's going to be more complicated for you :O

Answer 4

Here is our line y=2, it's horizontal.
It's at a height of y=2 and includes every x value along that line.

Answer 5

Couldn't x be anything?

Answer 6

For the y=2 line? Yes.

Here is the point that we want to satisfy.
