What would be the slope of a normal (perpendicular) line to a horizontal line with a slope of 0

m = slope of horizontal line
n = slope of normal line
m = -1/n
mn = -1
n = -1/m
n = -1/0
This is impossible, a perfectly vertical line equation is just
x = #, it has no slope.

The slope would be undefined. The equation of the line perpendicular to the horizontal line y = C would be x = C1
Where C and C1 are any constant you like.

It would be x=. because x by itself in a vertical line. Forming a perpindicular. So you can put x=0 for exaple.
