HI!!

OpenStudy (igreen):

Perpendicular lines have opposite slopes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im here to help

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[x=4\] is a vertical line

OpenStudy (misty1212):

a line perpendicular to a vertical line is horizontal

OpenStudy (igreen):

^

OpenStudy (misty1212):

btw a vertical line does not have slope, so forget about that approach

OpenStudy (igreen):

And horizontal lines look like: \(\sf y = \_\)

OpenStudy (igreen):

We have to have it through the point (2, 6)..so take the y-value from that and make the equation
