Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3) y = -1

  5) x = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to recognize that the equation describes a vertical line in problem 3 and a horizontal line in problem 5. The perpendicular to a vertical line is a horizontal line, and vice versa.

__

3. To make the desired horizontal line go through the point (-8, -1) the y-value of the line must match that of the point:

  y = -1

__

5. To make the desired vertical line go through the point (-14, 81), the x-value of the line must match that of the point:

  x = -14
