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.

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

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.


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.


What is the equation of the line perpendicular to the y-axis that passes through the point (2 7) and what is its slope?

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.


What is the product of the slopes when the x axis and y axis are perpendicular?

The slope of the x-axis is 0 and the y-axis does not have a slope. For all pairs of perpendicular lines, other than those parallel to the axes, the product of their slopes is -1.


What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation y 5x- 2?

If you mean: y = 5x-2 then the perpendicular slope is -1/5


What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation y 4x 5?

If you mean: y = 4x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/4
