Answer:

  • horizontal: y = 3
  • vertical: x = 2

Explanation:

You want the equations of the horizontal and vertical lines that pass through (2, 3).

Horizontal line

A horizontal line has an equation of the form ...

y = c . . . . . for some constant c

The value of y is the same for every value of x.

To make such a line go through the point (2, 3), we must have ...

y = 3

Vertical line

A vertical line has an equation of the form ...

x = c . . . . . for some constant c

The value of x is the same for every value of y.

To make such a line go through the point (2, 3), we must have ...

x = 2
