a) vertical line

b) horizontal line

c) oblique line

d) vertical line

e) oblique line

f) oblique line

g) vertical line

Step-by-step explanation:

Horizontal lines have a constant y value.

It is in the form y = a

Vertical lines have a constant x value .

It is in the form x = b

Oblique lines are lines that are neither vertical nor horizontal

It is in the form of equation of line

Let's check the options:

a) x - 5 = 0

x = 5 (vertical line)

b) y + 7 = 0\y = -7 (horizontal line)

c) 0 = x - 3y

x - 3y = 0 (neither vertical nor horizontal. It is oblique line)

d) 2x = 5

x = 5/2

x = 2.5 (vertical line)

e) 2(y - 3) = 0

2y - 6 = 0 (It is oblique line)

f) y = 3x + 5 (It is oblique line)

g) x = 8 (vertical line)
