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.

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 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.
