Answer:

B) y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write an equation of the line that passes through the point (2, 3) and is perpendicular to the line x = -1.

Recall that the line [tex]x=-1[/tex] is a vertical line.

This means that, the line that is perpendicular to x=-1 is a horizontal line.

A horizontal line that passes through [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] has equation [tex]y=y_1[/tex]

This implies that the equation of the horizontal through (2,3) is [tex]y=3[/tex]
