Question

Write equations for the vertical and horizontal lines passing through the point (2,8).

Answer 1

Vertical equations x=2, Horizontal lines: y=8

1) For the coordinate point (2,8) let's write

Since we want the result for that is equal to 8. We can formulate

x | y

2 8

Since the question wants vertical and horizontal line, then

Vertical Lines

x=2

Horizontal

y=8

All the other possible equations will neither be horizontal, nor vertical lines. But lines with a certain slope.
