Question

Sketch the graph of the line that passes through the point (−5,1) and is perpendicular to the y-axis.

Now find the equation of the line from the graph that passes through the point (−5,1) and is perpendicular to the yy-axis. Enter your answer as an equation (either y= or x= ).

The image shows a Cartesian coordinate graph with a grid. Here's a detailed description suitable for an educational website:

### Graph and Toolbar Overview

- **Toolbar Buttons (Top):**
  - **Pointer Tool:** For selecting and moving objects.
  - **Point Tool (A):** For placing points on the graph.
  - **Zoom In/Out Tools:** For adjusting the view size of the graph.
  - **Move Tool:** For panning across the graph.
  - **Delete Tool:** For removing objects from the graph.
  - **Undo/Redo Arrows:** For reversing or reinstating recent actions.

### Graph Details

- **Axes:** The graph has a horizontal axis (x-axis) and a vertical axis (y-axis) marked with intervals. The x-axis ranges from -1 to 9, and the y-axis ranges from -1 to 6.
- **Points:** There are two blue points plotted on the graph at coordinates (0,1) and (1,1) on the x-axis and y=1 line.

### Input Box and Feedback

- **Input Box (Bottom-Left):** Contains the values "0,1;1,1" which likely represent the coordinates of placed points.
- **Feedback Section (Bottom):**
  - **Success Message:** "You are correct."
  - **Receipt Number:** "Your receipt no. is 157-4169."
  - **Previous Tries Link:** Link available for viewing past attempts.

This educational graph allows students to practice identifying and plotting coordinates, with immediate feedback confirming the accuracy of their responses.
