  1. if it is perpendicular to y = 8 then equation

    is x = C

    as it contains 7 - 2

    so 7 = C

    or x = 7


  2. The line is perpendicular to y=8, so it is perpendicular to the x axis. It passes contains (7,-2), so the line is x = 7


  3. y = 8 is a horizontal line through (0,8). So the perpendicular would have to be a vertical line. Since it has to have (7,-2), we would need a vertical line that passes through (7,0). So the equation of the line that passes through (7,0) is x = 7.

    Cheers.
