Select the equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, 3) and is perpendicular to the line on the graph. (1 point) y = 0 y = 3x y = 3 y = -2

OpenStudy (itrymath):

OpenStudy (jtm-pa):

y=3

OpenStudy (itrymath):

no thanks.....

OpenStudy (itrymath):

i need work

OpenStudy (jtm-pa):

to pass through the point (-2,3) and be perpendicular to the vertical line it must be a straight line on the y-axis

OpenStudy (jtm-pa):

the only y-axis point that is perpendicular and crosses through the point (-2,3) crosses at the line of y=3

@Will.H

OpenStudy (itrymath):

it makes sense but i gotta make ure

OpenStudy (itrymath):

lol thanks <3

OpenStudy (jtm-pa):

im level 94 on PA... I do top level work and I'm in Uni

OpenStudy (itrymath):

whats PA

OpenStudy (itrymath):

Will is his way correct as well, in this situation

OpenStudy (jtm-pa):

still the answer is correct and I gave plenty of proof

OpenStudy (itrymath):

yeah but how can if be so simple ...

OpenStudy (itrymath):

i've never seen anything like that

OpenStudy (jtm-pa):

... because math can be simple at times this is a simple horizontal line function

OpenStudy (itrymath):

lier math was never simple for me

OpenStudy (jtm-pa):

:\ well guess you dont have a brain for math then...

OpenStudy (will.h):

the slope in the graph is undefined because it is vertical line and then they said it passes through the point (-2,3) now we don't have a slope and we can't use the form y - y1 = m(x - x1) but since they want a line that is perpendicular to the line in the graph then it will have to be a horizontal line (since the point we have contain a y value of 3 then the equation can be y = 3 Such that we would have |dw:1478030835236:dw|

OpenStudy (jtm-pa):

wow ur gonna draw a graph for something that isnt even needed... that doesnt even show the point on it

OpenStudy (itrymath):

ooooo

OpenStudy (itrymath):

OOOOoooOOOOOO

OpenStudy (jtm-pa):

doesnt even show the point on it... smh

OpenStudy (itrymath):

i was using y-y=m(x-x)

OpenStudy (jtm-pa):

why would you use point slope form to find that?

OpenStudy (will.h):

OpenStudy (itrymath):

will i get it lol just the way he did it so fast got me suspicious because i've never done this type
