The slopes are equal; y-intercepts are not equal.

3.

The point of intersection is (a,a).(a,a). This is because for the horizontal line, all of the yy coordinates are aa and for the vertical line, all of the xx coordinates are a.a. The point of intersection will have these two characteristics.

5.

First, find the slope of the linear function. Then take the negative reciprocal of the slope; this is the slope of the perpendicular line. Substitute the slope of the perpendicular line and the coordinate of the given point into the equation y=mx+by=mx+b and solve for b.b. Then write the equation of the line in the form y=mx+by=mx+b by substituting in mm and b.b.
