Question

RECEIVE FAN AND MEDAL

Select the equation of the line that passes through the point (3, 5) and is perpendicular to the line x = 4.

Answer 1

@pandaecat

Answer 2

Is this mutiple choice?

Answer 3

y = 5
x = 5
y = 4
x = 3

Answer 4

Let's see... well perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes, so what do u think?

Answer 5

Well I don't really understand this concept

Answer 6

The other line would be 90 degrees from x=4, which I suppose would be y=4

Answer 7

So C? @pandaecat

Answer 8

Yes I believe so

Answer 9

Thx

Answer 10

Can u help me with another one? @pandaecat

Answer 11

Which of the following lines is parallel to x = 8?
3y = 16
x = 7
x = y
y = 8

Answer 15

ANYONE

Answer 16

@Saiyan already gave it to @pandaecat

Answer 17

it is the second one

Answer 18

ok

Answer 19

If it is perpendicular, the lines will only intersect once. The question gives you the point (3,5). If you are finding a line perpendicular to x=4, it will always be y=something. You are given the point (3,5), and they y of the ordered pair is equal to 5, so the line you are looking for is y=5.

Answer 20

I am positive that it is y=5, not y=4.

Answer 21

The answer you chose to the first question is incorrect. The line y=4 does not pass through the point (3, 5).

Answer 22

For the second question, the graph of x=8 is a vertical line that intercepts the x-axis at 8. A line that is parallel to this must therefore also be a vertical line. Vertical lines have equations like x=(x-intercept). Is there a choice that fits this description?

Answer 23

Because it is parallel, like @ospreytriple said, the other line must be vertical too. Only one of the options you are given would give you a vertical line. Your answer must be equal to x so the slopes are similar.
