A perpendicular line is formed when two lines intersect and form a 90 degree, or right, angle.
Take the negative reciprocal of the lines slope you want it to be perpendicular to. For example y = 3x +2; perpendicular line slope is -1/3.
"Y = any number" is perpendicular to "x = -3".
To write an equation for a perpendicular line, first determine the slope of the original line. If the slope of the original line is ( m ), the slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal, ( -\frac{1}{m} ). Using the point-slope form ( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) ), where ( (x_1, y_1) ) is a point on the new line, substitute the perpendicular slope and point to derive the equation of the perpendicular line. Finally, you can rearrange it into slope-intercept form, ( y = mx + b ), if desired.
A horizontal line is a line perpendicular to the vertical.
Yes, I could, if I knew the slope of the line given.

The line "x = 6" will be perpendicular to any line "y = C", where C is any constant. That means that the line which is perpendicular to "x=6" and passes through [-4, 5] will be "y = 5"
Perpendicular line.
A horizontal line is perpendicular to a vertical line.
A line is perpendicular to another line when it is at an angle of 90° to the other line. + (that plus sign is an example of a perpendicular line)
A horizontal line is a line perpendicular to the vertical.

-3x+9=y
y = -x + 6
A line is perpendicular to a plane when it is perpendicular on two lines from the plane
