Answer:

So since your point is (-8,6), then your vertical line is x=-8 and horizontal line is y=6.

Explanation:

Horizontal lines are in the form y=b.

Vertical lines are in the form x=a.

a and b are just constant numbers.

So anyways, in general:

The horizontal line going through (a,b) is y=b.

The vertical line going through (a,b) is x=a.

So since your point is (-8,6), then your vertical line is x=-8 and horizontal line is y=6.
