Question

A line passes through point (-2, 5) and has a slope of . Points A(x, 3) and B(-2, y) lie on the line. The value of x is _____ , and the value of y is _____.

Answer 1

x=-2

Answer 2

Since the line passes through point (-2, 5) and (-2, y), this has to be a vertical line, because the x values are identical for all vertical lines. The y-coordinate can be any real number because the line extends from negative infinity to positive infinity. The slope of the line is undefined (vertical lines have an undefined slope). x = -2, because all x values are constant for vertical lines. The equation of the line is .... x = -2
