Logistics Layout: Perpendicular Guide Rails
Based on the geometric rules for perpendicular lines on a coordinate plane, identify the equation of the second guide rail. In your response, state whether the new rail is a horizontal or vertical line and identify which coordinate from the sensor's position ( or ) determines the equation.

A facility manager is using a coordinate system to map out a warehouse floor. A main conveyor belt follows the line y = -4. A technician must install a perpendicular support beam that passes through the point (-4, 2). Which of the following represents the equation of this vertical support beam?
A technician is mapping a fiber optic cable on a coordinate grid. The main line follows the equation y = -4. A secondary line must be installed perpendicular to the main line, passing through a connection point at (-4, 2). Because the main line is horizontal, the perpendicular line must be vertical. Complete the equation for this vertical line: x = ____.
