Question

In the quadrilateral WXYZ with vertices W(-1, 1), X(2, -3), Y(0, -6), and Z(-2, -5), what is the equation of the line x = -3?

a. y = -3
b. x = -3
c. y = 3
d. x = 3

Answer 1

The equation x = -3 is a vertical line where all points have an x-coordinate of -3, making the correct answer b. x = -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line x = -3 is a vertical line, which means that for all points on this line, the x-coordinate is -3, and the y-coordinate can be any real number. Therefore, the correct answer is b. x = -3. Options a, c, and d represent horizontal lines or different vertical lines, which are not accurate descriptions of a vertical line crossing the x-axis at -3.
