Can someone please help me with this problem. I will give brainliest!

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the y-axis and passes through the point (-4, 5).

Respuesta :

Answer:   y = 5

Explanation:

The y axis is vertical. Anything perpendicular to this is horizontal.

All horizontal linear equations are of the form y = k, where k is any number.

In this case, k = 5 so that the line y = 5 goes through all points with y coordinate 5. Two points on this line are (-4,5) and (1,5).

Note how y = 5 is equivalent to y = 0x+5. We see the slope is 0 and the y intercept is 5. Compare this to y = mx+b.
