Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -2) and (0,-5)?

Answer 1

x = 0

Explanation:

We can find slope using this formula:

`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = slope`

So we plug it in like this:

`(-5 - -2)/(0-0) = (-3)/(0) \\`

We see that the slope is undefined so it will be a straight vertical line

So in order to pass through y = -5 and y = -2, x would have to equal 0.

Therefore, the equation is x = 0

Hope this helps!!
