Alena Valdez · Answer 1

D, x = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of y = - 2 is 0, because it is horizontal. The perpendicular slope of a horizontal slope is a vertical, which has x equaled to a number. The answer is D, x = - 2, because its slope is undefined, or vertical. This makes it perpendicular to 0, or horizontal.
