Answer:
The required equation is: y=-3
Option D is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to write equation of line that is perpendicular to y = 5 and passes through (-4,-3).
The equation of line in slope-intercept form is expressed as:
where m is slope and b is y-intercept.
Finding Slope:
Comparing with the given equation y=5, the slope m =0
The slope of required line will be opposite reciprocal of 0 as both lines are perpendicular. so it will be m=0
Finding y-intercept
The y-intercept can be found using slope m=0 and point (-4,-3)
So, y-intercept b is b=-3
The equation of required line having slope m=0 and y-intercept b=-3 is
So, required equation is: y=-3
Option D is correct.
