Question

PLEASE ANYONE HELP I WILL GIVE MEDAL AND EXPLAIN TOO !
Select the equation of the line that passes through the point (5, 7) and is perpendicular to the line x = 4.

y = 4
x = 5
y = 7
x = 7

Answer 1

I think the answer is x=5

Answer 2

x=4 is a vertical line. What sort of line is perpendicular to a vertical line?

Answer 3

@carolinar7

Answer 4

could you define perpendicular better please /: I'm sorry @Mertsj

Answer 5

Line l1 is perpendicular to line l2 because the intersection is a right angle.

Answer 6

The answer is going to be one of the y = values. Perpendicular is where two lines crosses and creates a 90 degree angle

Answer 7

so it would be y=4 @Mertsj

Answer 8

Very good!!

Answer 9

It is y= but not y = 4.

Answer 10

It has to go through the point (5,7).

Answer 11

but why why y=7 ? then

Answer 12

ohhhhh

Answer 13

i totally forgot about (5,7)

Answer 14

Because the horizontal line that goes through the required point is y = 7

Answer 15

You have it now, don't you?

Answer 16

yes I do thank you very much for your help @Mertsj really appreciate it

Answer 17

yw

Answer 18

thank you too @Nixy
