Question

NEED HELP NOW PLEASE THANKS. Find an equation of the line described. Write the equation in​ slope-intercept form when possible. Through (-5,-3)​, perpendicular to the​ y-axis

Answer 1

Answer:

  y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-axis is a vertical line, so the perpendicular line is a horizontal line. It is generally written in the form ...

  y = constant

For the line to go through the point (-5, -3), the constant must match the y-coordinate of the point: -3

  y = -3 . . . . your equation

__

Such a line has a slope of 0, so could be written in "slope-intercept form" as ...

  y = 0x -3

We generally omit terms that evaluate to zero.
