Question

I GIVE MEDALS AND FAN :D

Graph with a line going through points zero comma two point five and four comma two point five.

Select the equation of the line that passes through the point (3, -1) and is perpendicular to the line on the graph.

y = -1
y = 3
x = -1
x = 3

Answer 1

Can you attach a picture of what you're looking at?

Answer 2

Always remember that X goes before Y in the alphabet, and it does the same in math too!

Answer 3

No I don't know how :/ @IronicallyRose but, I described it

Answer 4

Okay :) @HailKK

Answer 5

That's okay, I'll try my best. So, what is the slope of the line on the graph?

Answer 6

You can take a screenshot with a mac by holding shift command 3, and a selective screenshot with shift command 4. What computer are you using?

Answer 7

^^It's an old panasonic :/ i can't take screenshots. @HailKK
& @IronicallyRose let me see hold on

Answer 8

0

Answer 9

be right back

Answer 10

Okay

Answer 11

So it's either horizontal or vertical?

Answer 12

It's horizontal

Answer 13

Oh sorry I didn't put it in the describtion on the graph!

Answer 14

Okay, that means that the equation of the line is going to be y=?

Answer 15

Do you think you could figure out what the equation of this line is?

Answer 16

I dunno :/ Would it be y=0 or something?

Answer 17

Just find out where it intersects the y axis.

Answer 18

As for the final answer, we know that we can eliminate the first 2, because in order for the line to be perpendicular, in will need to be x=?

Answer 19

Okay

Answer 20

would the answer be x=3?

Answer 21

Yep!

Answer 22

Did you understand why?

Answer 23

Ummm well I knew it wasn't negative

Answer 24

And x=-1 would not have passed through (3,-1).

Answer 25

Ohh got it! Thanks!!!!

Answer 26

Of course! Thank you for the medal and the fan! :)

Answer 27

You're welcome!!
