Understanding Perpendicular Lines and Graphing

The video tutorial explains how to find an equation of a line that is perpendicular to x = -3 and passes through the point (5, 2). It begins by recognizing that x = -3 is a vertical line and demonstrates this by graphing it using a table of values. The tutorial shows how to plot points on the coordinate plane, specifically (-3, 0) and (-3, 2), to illustrate the vertical line. The conclusion reaffirms that x = -3 is indeed a vertical line.

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to x = -3?

• x = -3

• y = -3
