Question

Write the equation of the horizontal line passing through the point (7, 4)

Answer 1

x = 7

Answer 2

write the equation for the vertical line passing through the point (-5, 2)

Answer 3

What does it mean for the line to be vertical?

Answer 4

your vertical line will be of the form x= a where a is some constant. in this case, the value is given by the first point in your ordered pair, so x=-5. also for your original equation the horizontal line should be y= a where a is some constant. so it should be y=7.

Answer 5

small correction @Napervilian the horizontal line through the point (7,4) , being (x,y), would be y=4
