Is a vertical line that goes through the point (2,9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you asking for the line that goes through this point?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im unsure of what this question is just asking, my teacher gave us this assignment without explaining it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am going to assume that it is asking what the vertical line through (2,9) would be. Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well ummm idk XD. I know i just did some right before this using y-y1=m(x-x1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. So do you know what makes a line vertical?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so when a line is vertical the y will be zero. For example:|dw:1358128494811:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So if you are looking for the equation of a vertical line through the point (2,9) you just need the number of X. so by looking at the graph what will x be to get a line through this point? |dw:1358128646117:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2,9)??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when making a vertical line you don't need a y value. so the equation will look like x= what x value would you use?
