Question

Help: Linear Equations - "Use point-slope y-y1=m(x-x1) and put in Standard Form."

Through: (2,5), slope = undefined

Answer 1

trick question

Answer 2

you cannot use the point slope form, because the slope is undefined

Answer 3

I know it is a vertical line, however, I know there is an answer and I cant seem to figure it out. This is the only one I'm stuck on

Answer 4

vertical line looks like \(x=\text{some number}\)

Answer 5

in your case that number is \(2\)

Answer 6

so I wouldn't even pay any attention to the rest of it? even though a vertical line goes up and down. We would only give a x = 2 answer?

Answer 7

why not the y?

Answer 8

vertical line doesn't depend on \(y\)

Answer 9

\(y\) can be anything, all points look like \((2,whatever)\)

Answer 10

Thank you. I can understand now.
