Which equation represents a line perpendicular to the x-axis passing through (3,3)(3, 3)?

A

x=3x = 3

B

y=3y = 3

C

y=xy = x

D

x+y=6x + y = 6

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Perpendicular to x-axis means vertical.

  1. Direction: Vertical (parallel to y-axis).
  2. Form: x=kx = k.
  3. Value: x-coordinate is 3.
  4. Equation: x=3x = 3.

💡 Strategic Tip: Perpendicular to X = Vertical. Perpendicular to Y = Horizontal.

Choice B is incorrect because horizontal. Choice C is incorrect because diagonal. Choice D is incorrect because diagonal.
