what is the slope and equation of a line that is perpendicular to the y-axis passing through (-5,-3)?
1 answer:
Answer:
Slope is m=0
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of any line that is perpendicular to the y-axis is zero.
The reason is that any line that is perpendicular to the y-axis is also parallel to the x-axis and the slope of the x-axis is zero.
The equation of any line perpendicular to the y-axis is and passes through (a,b) is y=b.
The given point is (-5,-3) hence the required equation is

Answer:
C, D, E, F
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember y=mxb?
m is slope and b is y-intercept
so y=2/7x-9
Remember that slope is RISE/RUN so for every 2 squares that you go up, you go 7 squares to the right.
Also remember that since your graph is going thru your Cartiesian Plane in quadrent 4, your y value in your ordered pairs will most probably be a negative.
