Question

Give the coordinates of two points on the line x = 5.
Give the coordinates of two points on the line y = -2.
Write the equation of the horizontal line passing through the point (-1, -8).
Write the equation of the vertical line passing through the point (3, 1).
Is the line with equation x = 4 horizontal or vertical? What is the slope of this line?
Is the line with equation y = -8 horizontal or vertical? What is the slope of this line?

Answer 1

@Compassionate Can you please help me ?? Im confused on these

Answer 2

the 1st two issues, it seems to me they're just any points you'd really like, so long they include that "x" or "y"

Answer 3

What are you exactly having trouble with?

Answer 4

Like how to coordinate

Answer 5

Give the coordinates of two points on the line x = 5.

So any point where x = 5 is acceptable.

(5, 1)(5, 2) Those are both acceptable. Same thing for the coordinate of y. Those are the answers to the first two problems. Does that make sense?

Answer 6

Oh yeah , So (5,1)(5,2) is the answer for that one ?

Answer 7

Or (5. 10000)(5, 19394234234234) Anything where x = 5.

Because we know (x, y)

So if we wanted to do the second one, where y = -2, we can have:

(23423423, -2)(2234234888, -2) Or any other number. As long as y = -2

Answer 8

so that number HAS to be in there

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

May you help me on the rest ??

Answer 11

>Write the equation of the horizontal line passing through the point (-1, -8).

We know that a horizontal line goes sideways.

Can you try to solve this one? Any information you may think be useful? Try to solve it yourself.

Answer 12

Remember, (x, y)

If a line is passing through x, then it is vertical.

Answer 13

If a line is passing through y, then it is horizontal

Answer 14

So, if you want to write the equation of a horizontal line, given the points: (-1, -8)., what is the only logical answer?

Answer 15

I have no clue .-.

Answer 16

Well, we know that x = vertical and y = horizontal. Therefore, if we have (-1, -8), we know that it's always put in the form (x, y). So, the horizontal line would just be y = -8. Just take the y-term because that's the only horizontal possibility.

Answer 17

>Write the equation of the vertical line passing through the point (3, 1).


Can you do this one on your own?
