Answer:

[tex]x=2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want the equation of the line perpendicular to y=-3.

Notice that y=-3 is a horizontal line.

Therefore, in order to be perpendicular, our new equation must be vertical.

We know that it must pass through the point (2, -1).

Since it must be vertical, it must pass through the x-coordinate.

Therefore, our line must be:

[tex]x=2[/tex]

It passes through (2, -1) and is a vertical line, so it’s perpendicular to y=-3.
