Question

The equation of the line passing through (-1, 7) and perpendicular to the line y + 2 = 0 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

X=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of perpendicular line is the oppositie reciprocal. So, the slope of the original equation is 0. (Y=-2 or y=0x-2). The perpendicular slope is undefined which means it‘s a vertical line. The equation for a vertical line is x=something. In this case, the equation would be x=-1 because that’s the x value of the ordered pair given.
