What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by x=3?

give the coordinates of a point on the line whose equation in point-slope form is y-(-2)=1/2(x-5)

1. The equation x=3 describes a vertical line. A perpendicular line will be horizontal. It will have no "rise" for any length of "run." The slope is zero.

__

2. The point-slope form of the equation for a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...

y -k = m(x -h)

You can read the values of h and k from your equation. They are ...

h = 5
k = -2

So, a point on the line is (h, k) = (5, -2).
