Question

FInd an equation of a line that goes through (5/8,2/9) and is vertical.

Answer 1

SO then 5/8 has to stay the same?

Answer 2

Sorry my mistake it's not going to be a function where you can plot. A function only has one distinct value for each x.

Answer 3

So that can be a point but you can't find a function.

Answer 4

What?

Answer 5

You can't have a vertical function.

Answer 6

I get that... But you have confused me with everything else.

Answer 7

x=5/8

Answer 8

vertical line x = number
in your case it is \(x=\frac{5}{8}\)

Answer 9

How would you set up the equation to get the answer.. That is what I am confused on.

Answer 10

maybe drawing can help...

so...x = 5/8

Answer 11

vertical line means x is the same , no matter what the y is

Answer 12

the equation is x = 5/8 itself

Answer 13

But how? I guess I just dont understand what you did with the 2/9.. You set it to 0?

Answer 14

Yes x=5/8 is the equation but you can't come up with a function where you can plug in any value of X and come up with a different value of Y

Answer 15

So if you cant come up with a function you would have x=5/8 but to get that you would 0(2/9)?
