The graph of the line through (2, 3) that is perpendicular to the line with
equation y = -1 also goes through which point?
F (0, 1)
G (1, 4)
H (2, -4)
J (-2, 3)

Respuesta :

Answer:

  H  (2, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is a horizontal line, so a perpendicular will be a vertical line. Its equation will be of the form ...

  x = constant

In order for that line to go through (2, 3), the constant must be the x-coordinate, 2. So, the perpendicular line to y=-1 is ...

  x = 2.

It will go through any point with an x-coordinate of 2, but will not go through any point with any other x-coordinate. So, the appropriate answer choice is the point ...

  (2, -4)
