Answer:

A.) [tex]y=5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the slope from your given points. To find this, you use the formula,

[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

if you plug the given points into this you get

[tex]\frac{-6}{0}[/tex]

Since you can't divide by zero, your slope is undefined.

Now you can use the point slope formula to solve.

[tex]y-y1=m(x-x1)[/tex]

So in this case, your slope will be opposite since it is perpendicular. The opposite of undefined is 0, so your slope is 0.

[tex]y-5=0(x+1)[/tex]

[tex]y-5=0[/tex]

[tex]y=5[/tex]

So your answer is y=5
