Answer:

y= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

x=0 is a vertical graph hence the perpendicular graph would be a horizontal line, a y= ____ graph.

Since it passes through the point (-2, -5),

the equation of the line is y= -5.

This would be in slope- intercept form since the gradient of horizontal lines is zero.

y= mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Given that gradient =0, m=0

y= 0x +c

when x= -2, y= -5,

-5= 0(-2) +c

-5= c

c= -5

Thus the equation is y= -5.
