Question

Write equations for the vertical and horizontal lines passing through the point (-8,6)
vertical line=?
positive line=?

anonymous · Answer

one equation will be x=something and other will be y=something

anonymous · Answer

for example, when x= 0, then that line has value of x=0 for every y possible

anonymous · Answer

ok so what do i do

anonymous · Answer

you have two different lines and one point
for (-8,6), the first coordinate is the x-coordinate and the second coordinate is the y-coordinate

anonymous · Answer

ok...

anonymous · Answer

one line is vertical the other is horizontal

for vertical lines, x=something
for horizontal lines, y=something

anonymous · Answer

ok but your telling me the obvious part.

anonymous · Answer

the answer is obvious; I've told you everything possible without giving the answer

mertsj · Answer

That's all there is....the obvious part.

anonymous · Answer

ok so the vertical is -8 and the horizontal is 6. but thats not an equation

mertsj · Answer

for vertical lines, x=something

mertsj · Answer

Did you read what hairynmad wrote?

anonymous · Answer

x=-8?

mertsj · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

y=6?

mertsj · Answer

yes
