Question

Find an equation in standard form for the line described:

Passing through the points (-2,3) and (-2,6)
I know that the slop is 2/0, which is infinity, so how do I get this into standard form?

If you could show the conversion from slope intercept to standard form in your work, that would help me understand this a lot!

Answer 1

2/0?? this is undefined..

Answer 2

so the line is vertical, which means the answer is just undefined?

Answer 3

mmm strange... wait let me try

Answer 4

Thanks, let me know what you find :)

Answer 5

yeah you are right:) the graph will be vertical..

Answer 6

But how do I write that in standard form?

Answer 7

y=mx+b where m is the slope.. well, i don't think there's a standard form for this it's only x=-2

Answer 8

how do u figure out the slop if it's infinity?

Answer 9

*slope

Answer 10

if the slope is undefined.. or if given the points on the line, points have same x=coordinates then slope is infinity..

Answer 11

so then the answer in slope intercept would be y=infinityx+b?

Answer 12

i'm not sure.. b/c there's no y-intercept(b).. so as is said before, the equation will be x= -2

Answer 13

alright, thank you

Answer 14
