Find the equation for the line that passes through the point (−2,5), and that is perpendicular to the line with the equation x=−4.

Question

Find the equation for the line that passes through the point (−2,5)(−2,5), and that is perpendicular to the line with the equation x=−4x=−4.

Answer 1

Thie equation of the line perpendicular to the line whose equation is in the form x = h is y = k.

In this case y = 5 to pass through the point (-2, 5).
