Question

(03.07 LC)

Choose the equation of the vertical line passing through the point (8, −2). (1 point)


x = −2

y = −2

x = 8

y = 8

Answer 1

x=8

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 8.

We know this since the line in question is vertical, so we automatically know it will be x (vertical lines can only pass through the x axis, because the y axis is already vertical).

Vertical lines will pass through only 1 x-coordinate, but they pass every point on the y-axis, since they infinitely go up and down (which, we already said, is the y-axis).
