A line perpendicular to the y-axis is a horizontal line (slope = 0) and is of the form y = b

Therefore the required line is y = 5

Find the equation of the line perpendicular when the slope is zero?

when the slope is 0, the graph is a horizontal line on the x axis so the y axis is perpendicular to it, which can be written x=0


What is the slope intercept form of -7-8 perpendicular to the axis?

A line perpendicular to the x-axis does not have a slope nor a y-intercept and so it is not possible to answer the question.

A vertical line is perpendicular to the x-axis true or false?

True. A vertical line runs parallel to the y-axis and has an undefined slope, while the x-axis is horizontal with a slope of zero. Since perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, a vertical line is indeed perpendicular to the x-axis.


What is the slope of perpendicular line y-13x?

If you mean y = -13x then the slope of the line perpendicular to it is 1/13

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to y -2?

The equation ( y - 2 = 0 ) represents a horizontal line at ( y = 2 ). The slope of a horizontal line is 0. A line that is perpendicular to a horizontal line has an undefined slope, as it would be a vertical line. Therefore, the slope of a line perpendicular to ( y - 2 = 0 ) is undefined.


What is the y intercept and slope in this equation x equals -5?

There is no y-intercept or slope for this given equation, because its graph is a vertical line perpendicular to the x-axis.


Is y equals -2 a parallel line or a perpendicular line?

y=-2 is parallel to the x-axis and perpendicular to the y-axis.

Which line is perpendicular to y equals 4x?

A line that is perpendicular to ( y = 4x ) will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of 4. Therefore, the slope of the perpendicular line is ( -\frac{1}{4} ). Any line with this slope, such as ( y = -\frac{1}{4}x + b ) (where ( b ) is any y-intercept), will be perpendicular to the original line.


What is the slope of a line that is parrel to the y- axis?

The slope (or gradient) if the line is parallel to the y-axis, is infinite. If it's parallel to the x-axis the slope is zero.
