Question

Write the equation of the line which passes through (5, –2) and is parallel to x = 4. (1 point) show work

Answer 1

What slope does x=4 have?

Answer 2

I can help, but you must at least reply

Answer 3

4

Answer 4

no,

Answer 5

it has an undefined slope

Answer 6

oh ok

Answer 7

So if you were to draw a line that has an undefine slope, it would look like a vertical line

Answer 8

correct

Answer 9

And if you have a point (5, -2), and a vertical line goes through it, what slope would that have?

Answer 10

idk honestly

Answer 11

It would have an undefine slope. If a line is vertical, which means it goes straight up, or straight down.

Answer 12

so the equation for this problem would be x=5

Answer 13

how ya get that

Answer 14

ok, let me draw it. There is really no work done

Answer 15

Now you want a line that has the same slope( parallel) to this line x=4. You have a point at (5, -2)

Answer 16

Simply the line just moved over 1 unit to the right.

Answer 17

oh ok

Answer 18

thanks :)
