sorry i was drawing a graph

jdoe0001 · Answer

$\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\
&(-2\quad ,&7)\quad &(-2\quad ,&-2)
\end{array}\ \quad \
\cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{-2-(7)}{-2-(-2)}\implies \cfrac{-9}{0}$

jdoe0001 · Answer

notice the "x" is -2 and -2, so the graph is like |dw:1383335886815:dw|

anonymous · Answer

i forgot about calculating slope like that.

jdoe0001 · Answer

I don't see anything resembling a "vertical line" equation in your choices

y = -2 is a horizontal line|dw:1383336001625:dw|
