Answer:

Slope is m=0

$y=-3$

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

$y=-3$

This circle is centered at the orgin, and the length of it’s radius is 5. What is the ewuation of the circle?

pav-90 [236]

$\bf \textit{equation of a circle}\\\\ 
(x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2
\qquad 
center~~(\stackrel{0}{ h},\stackrel{0}{ k})\qquad \qquad 
radius=\stackrel{5}{ r}
\\\\\\
(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=5^2\implies x^2+y^2=25$
