Question from allison, a student: find an equation in standard form for line passing through point (5,1) and perpendicular to line x=4 |
Hi Allison,
The line $x = 4$ is a vertical line so the line you are looking for is horizontal. What is the equation of the horizontal line that passes through $(5, 1)?$
Draw a diagram.
