Question

How do you write an equation of a line going through (-6,2) perpendicular to y=-2?

Answer 1

`x = -6`

Explanation:

The equation `y = -2` is a horizontal line. For any and every value of `x`, `y` has the same value - `-2`.

Therefore a line perpendicular to this is a vertical line. For any and every value of `y`, `x` has the same value - `-6` in this case.

Therefore the equation for this line is: `x = -6`
