What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (2, 6)?

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is parallel to X-axis, so its equation is y = b (b is its intersect of Y-axis)

Therefore the perpendicular line has to be parallel to Y-axis, so its equation will be x = x₀, where x₀ is its intersect of X-axis and x-coordinate of any point it passes through.

(2, 6)      ⇒     x₀ = 2

so the equation is

                             x = 2

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice

m a t h w a y. c o m
