The equation of the line that passes through the point (3 , 5) and is
perpendicular to the line x = 4 is y = 5 ⇒ answer 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us revise some notes about the horizontal and vertical lines
- The horizontal line is a line parallel to x-axis
- The equation of a horizontal line passes through point (a , b) is y = b, because the y-coordinates of all points on the line are equal
- The vertical line is a line parallel to y-axis
- The equation of a vertical line passes through point (a , b) is x = a, because the x-coordinates of all points on the line are equal
- The horizontal line and the vertical line are perpendicular
∵ The equation of the given line is x = 4
- From the 4th note above the given line is a vertical line
∴ The given line is a vertical line
- The perpendicular line to a vertical line is a horizontal line
∴ The perpendicular line to the given line is horizontal
∵ The perpendicular line passes through the point (3 , 5)
∵ The equation of the horizontal line is y = b, where b the
y-coordinate of any point lies on the line
∵ The point (3 , 5) lies on the line
- The y-coordinate of the point is 5
∴ b = 5
∴ The equation of the perpendicular line is y = 5
The equation of the line that passes through the point (3 , 5) and is
perpendicular to the line x = 4 is y = 5
