Answer:

y=11

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to find the equation of the line that passes through the point (-8, 11) and is perpendicular to x=-15

If a line is perpendicular to another line, it means that the slopes of those lines are negative and reciprocal; in other words, the product of the slopes is equal to -1

The line x=-15 has an undefined slope, which we can represent as 1/0, which is also undefined.

To find the slope of the line perpendicular to x=-15, we can use this equation (m is the slope):

m_1*m_2=-1

m_1 in this instance would be 1/0, so we can substitute it into the equation:

\frac{1}{0} *m_2=-1

Multiply both sides by 0

m_2=0

So the slope of the new line is 0

We can substitute it into the equation y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept:

y=0x+b

Now we need to find b:

Since the equation passes through the point (-8,11), we can use its values to solve for b.

Substitute -8 as x and 11 as y:

11=0(-8)+b

Multiply

11=0+b, or 11=b

So substitute into the equation:

y=0x+11

We can also write the equation as y=11

Hope this helps!
