an equation for a line that is perpendicular to the line given by x=5 and passes through the point (1,0)

Answer 1

The line given by x=5 is the vertical line that is perpendicular to the x axis at point (5,0). The x axis passes through the point ( 1, 0). So what do you think is the equation for that line? Is that line the x axis? What is the equation for the x axis?

I hope this helps.
