Question

Write an equation of the line passing through point

Answer 1

The equation of line passing through the point P(-8,0) that is perpendicular to the line y=-3 is y=0 which can be found out from slope intercept formula.

It is given to us that -

The point is P(-8,0)

The line is represented as y=-3

The point P is perpendicular to the given line.

We have to find out the equation of the line passing through P which is perpendicular to the given line.

We know that the equation of a line is given by -

y = mx + c

where, (x, y) = coordinates of the point

m = slope of the line

c = a constant

Comparing this with the equation of the given line, we have

m=0 and c =-3

This implies that the slope of the perpendicular is also equal to 0.

The slope intercept formula for the perpendicular line can be represented as -

y = mx + c

Using the coordinates of P(-8,0), we have

0 = 0*(-8) +c

=> c = 0.

Thus, the equation of line passing through the point P(-8,0) that is perpendicular to the line y=-3 is y=0.
