Question

Write equations for the vertical and horizontal lines passing through the point (-3,-8).​

Answer 1

Horizontal: y=-8

Vertical: x=-3

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = - 3 and y = - 8

Explanation:

the equation of a vertical line parallel to the y- axis is

x = c ( c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through )

the line passes through (- 3, - 8 ) with x- coordinate - 3 , then

x = - 3 ← equation of vertical line

the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis is

y = c ( c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through )

the line passes through (- 3, - 8 ) with y- coordinate - 8 , then

y = - 8 ← equation of horizontal line
