Question

find the equation of a line that passes through the point (1,-7) and is perpendicular;ar to x axis

Answer 1

x = 1 is the equation of the line perpendicular to the x axis that goes through the point (1,-7)

perpendicular to the x axis is a vertical line. vertical lines always have the same x coordinate, which in this problem = 1

slope is undefined, there is no y intercept, in case you're trying to use the y=mx+b formula, which is misleading for this problem
