Question

Write the equation of the horizontal line passing through the point (-1, -8).  i'm not sure if I put the right answer.

anonymous · Answer

is it x=-1?

anonymous · Answer

And also.... Write the equation of the vertical line passing through the point (3, 1).     wud it be y=1? or x=3?

anonymous · Answer

plz helpppp

anonymous · Answer

To find the equation, I would figure out the slope, than plug everything into the point-slope form to get the original equation (standard form). 

Point-slope form: y – y1 = m(x – x1)
Standard form: y = mx + b

sorry I'm just confused with this slope thing i don't know if the equation shud have a slope or what?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, it should.

anonymous · Answer

but this lesson had nothing to do with slopes at least by what i know
