Answer:

Given point is: (-3,9)

To find the equation of vertical and horizontal line passes through the point.

Vertical line:

A vertical line is parallel to the yaxis and we know that equation of y axis is x=0

The equation of the vertical line is x=k where k is any constant

Since the line passes through the point (-3,9), k is equal to the x-coordinate of the point.

k=-3

we get,


x=-3

the equation of the vertical line is x=-3

Horizontal line:

A horizontal line is parallel to x axis and we know that equation of x axis is y=0

The equation of the horizontal line is y=h where h is any constant

Since the line passes through the point (-3,9), h is equal to the y-coordinate of the point.

h=9

we get,


y=9

the equation of the horizontal line is y=9
