Question

Write equation for the horizontal and vertical lines passing through the point (4, -1)

Answer 1

The horizontal line is y = -1

The vertical line is x = 4

Here, we want to write equation for the horizontal and vertical lines passing through the point

The horizontal line has the equation of the form y = k

while the vertical line has the equation of the form x = k

where x and y represents the points on the x and y axes respectively

For the horizontal line, the equation is y = -1

For the vertical line, the equation is x = 4
