line L passes through point (2, -5) and is perpendicular to the line with equation y=7. determine the equation of line L
1 answer:
Answer:
The equation of the line L is
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The line y=7
Is a horizontal line (parallel line to the x-axis)
The slope of a horizontal line is equal to zero
A line L perpendicular to the given line must be a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)
The slope of the line L is undefined
The line L passes through the point (2,-5)
therefore
The equation of the line L will be equal to the x-coordinate of the given point
