Answer:

x = 11/4

y = -6/7

Explanation:

A horizontal line is a left/right line, like the horizon. The equation of a horizontal line is always in the form of

y = "a number"

The given point

(11/4, -6/7), well, any point, is in the form (x, y). The first number is the x and the second number is the y.

In this case, with your point, y = -6/7.

This is the equation of the horizontal line through your point.

A vertical line is an up/down line. The equation of a vertical line is always in the form:

x = "a number"

The first number

(x, y) is the x in the point (and all points) So in (11/4, -6/7) the 11/4 is the x. So the equation of the vertical line through the given point is

x = 11/4
