Question

Write equations for the horizontal and vertical lines passing through the point (-4,-8).

horizontal line:

vertical line:​

Answer 1

y = - 8 and x = - 4

Explanation:

Answer 2

y = - 8 and x = - 4

Explanation:

The equation of a horizontal line is

y = c

Where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through (- 4, - 8 ) with y- coordinate - 8, thus

y = - 8 ← equation of horizontal line

The equation of a vertical line is

x = c

Where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through (- 4, - 8 ) with x- coordinate - 4, thus

x = - 4 ← equation of vertical line
