What is the slope and equation of a line that is perpendicular to the y-axis and passes through the point (3,12)

Slope equals the change in the vertical (Y value) divided by the change in the horizontal (X value), the slope of a horizontal line is zero and equation of line is Y =12. So option C is correct.

<h3>What is equation of line?</h3>

A straight line's general equation is y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and y = c is the value at which the line intersects the y-axis. This value c is known as the y-axis intercept.

Here,

Since the Y-axis is vertical, a line perpendicular to it would be horizontal..  The slope of a horizontal line is zero, because slope is the change in the vertical (Y value) divided by the change in the horizontal (X value), and the vertical coordinate does not change from the -3 of the point given.

If we start with the slope-intercept form of an equation of a line

Y = mX + b,

we can write Y = 0X + (12)

Y =12

Slope is the vertical change (Y value) divided by the horizontal change (X value); the slope of a horizontal line is zero, and the equation of the line is Y =12.

How do I do number 1 and 2? I've tried them several times, but I still can't get it.
AlladinOne [14]
For question 1, you need to look at the number and decide on the closest square numbers.
For this example, the two closest square numbers to 160 are 144 (12²) and 169 (13²). 
Therefore, we can say that the square root of 160 must be between 12 and 13.

For question 2, when we find the area of a 4-sided shape, we have to multiply the 2 adjacent sides. In this case, as the shape is a square when we multiply the 2 sides it is this same as squaring 1 side. This means that when we find the side from an area of a square you take the square root.
We found in question 1 that 13² is 169, therefore the square root is 13 and the sides must each be 13 ft long.
