Question

How do you write an equation of a line given (-6, -1) perpendicular to line 5x-3=2?

Answer 1

`y=-1`

Explanation:

Notice that `5x-3=2` is a vertical line (equivalent to `x=1)`

Any line perpendicular to it must be a horizontal line.

A horizontal line passing through `(-6,-1)` has its `y` a constant (namely `(-1)`)

So the required equation is
