Write the equation of the line that passes through (1, 3) and (1, -5).

OpenStudy (aripotta):

first you have to find the slope

OpenStudy (aripotta):

OpenStudy (aripotta):

that's the formula for slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i got m= -8 i'm just stuck on what to do next

OpenStudy (aripotta):

well, i guess now you gotta find the y-intercept. to the coordinate plane!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now how do i get that... i don't remember

OpenStudy (aripotta):

how did you get a slope of -8? lol

OpenStudy (aripotta):

there is no y-intercept

OpenStudy (aripotta):

after doing the slope formula, i got 8/0 which is 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yesss same.. but what do i do now lol i am just so lost

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i'm lost too lol

OpenStudy (aripotta):

ok, it would be x = 1

OpenStudy (aripotta):

because the line is at 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is x=1

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

heck noo i'm just a lost puppy..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you don't have to waste your time i'll ask someone else:)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

we did vertical line form

OpenStudy (aripotta):

now does it make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thanks

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no problem :)
