Question: Write an equation of the line that has the following properties: passes through (-5, 3) and is perpendicular to the x-axis

Suppose two lines, whose equations are y = m₁ * x + b₁ AND y = m₂ * x + b₂ perpendicular to each other. What is the relationship between m₁ and m₂?

Please show us what you have tried and exactly where you are stuck.

Draw any line perpendicular to the x-axis. Then determine some points on the line. What do they all have in common? What do you think the equation of this line should be?
