Answer:
x = - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 15 is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis
a perpendicular line must therefore be a vertical line parallel to the y- axis with equation
x = c
where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.
the line passes through (- 11, - 1 ) with x- coordinate of - 11 , then
x = - 11 ← equation of perpendicular line

Answer:
x - 5y = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: rewrite the equation of the given line in to slope-intercept form by solving for y
x = 5y - 9
-5y = -x - 9 (subtract 5y and x from both sides)
y = x/5 + 9/5 (divide both side by -5)
Step 2: Our line is parallel to this line, so it has the same slope, but a different y-intercept, so set up the equation...
y = x/5 + b
We are given a point (x, y) of (2, -4), so plug that in and solve for b.
-4 = 2/5 + b
-4 - 2/5 = b (subtract 2/5 from both sides to isolate b)
-20/5 - 2/5 = b
-22/5 = b (simplify)
So the equation of our line is y = x/5 - 22/5
Step 3: Standard form is ax + by = c, where a is a positive integer
subtract x/5 from both sides...
-x/5 + y = - 22/5
multiply by -5 so x becomes a positive integer
x - 5y = 22
