Write an equation of the line satisfying the given conditions.
-The line passes through (25, 24) and is perpendicular to y = 6. 
A) $y = 24$
B) $x = 25$
C) $x = - \frac { 1 } { 6 }$
D) $y = - \frac { 1 } { 6 }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The line y = 6 is a horizontal line. A line perpendicular to a horizontal line is a vertical line, which has the equation x = a constant. Since the line passes through (25, 24), the equation of the line is x = 25.
