Assuming the point is (3, -6) and the slope 1, the equation is x - y - 9 = 0
Given Point: (0,-1) Given Line: y=2x+5 If the line you are trying to find the equation of is perpendicular to the line given then the slope of the line you are trying to find must be the negative reciprocal of the line given. The slope of the line given is 2 so the slope of the line perpendicular to this one is -1/2. Using y=mx+b we get that y=(-1/2)x+b. Then we must use the point that was given to find b (the y-intercept). This means: -1=(-1/2)(0)+b -1=b So the equation is y=(-1/2)x-1
The equation of the line will also depend on its slope which has not been given and so an answer is not possible.
Any equation parallel to the x-axis is of the form:y = constant In this case, you can figure out the constant from the given point.
I assume that is a straight line between point (0, 0) and point (3, 1): The equation of any line is given by: y - yo = m(x - xo) where m is the gradient given by: m = (y1 - yo)/(x1 - x0) Thus, line is: y - 0 = (1 - 0)/(3 - 0)(x - 0) ⇒ y = 1/3 x or 3y = x
