Which equation represents the line passing through (2,3)(2, 3) perpendicular to x=4x = 4?

A

y=3y = 3

B

x=2x = 2

C

y=2y = 2

D

x=3x = 3

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Perpendicular to vertical is horizontal.

  1. Original: x=4x = 4 (Vertical).
  2. New: Horizontal (y=ky = k).
  3. Point: y-coordinate is 3.
  4. Equation: y=3y = 3.

💡 Strategic Tip: Don't overthink slopes for vertical/horizontal lines.

Choice B is incorrect because parallel. Choice C is incorrect because wrong value. Choice D is incorrect because wrong value.
