write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=5 and passes through the point (-7,-5)

Answer 1

y=5 is a horizontal line where all points on that line have a y-coordinate of 5. A vertical line is perpendicular to a horizontal line. Vertical lines pass through points that all share an x-coordinate. Therefore, the line that is perpendicular to y=5 and passes through (-7,-5) is x=-7.

The Answer is: x = -7
