Question

What is the equation of a vertical line passing through (–5, –2)?

x = –5

y = –2

x = –7

y = –3

Answer 1

Remember that a vertical line has an undefined slope.

Answer 2

@sammyrayepatton a vertical line's x- coordinate remains the same so it's of the form x=a
can you tell now?

Answer 3

not exactly :(

Answer 4

Do remember that a will be the y-intercept, but since the x coordinates remain the same, the y-intercept = x coordinate at any given point.

Answer 5

then what do I do then?

Answer 6

\(x = a\).
Now what's \(a\)?

Answer 7

???

Answer 8

-5

Answer 9

The \(x\) remains the same.
correct

Answer 10

okay
