Find the equation of the line perpendicular to the line x=9 that passes through the point (9,-1)

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the line x = 9 is a vertical line, therefore a line perpendicular to it will be a horizontal line of the form y = constant number.

Since we want it to go through the point (9, -1), then we know that that y value needs to be "-1", and the equation of the line will be given by the expression:

y = -1
