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

anyone?

anonymous · Answer

whats the point of this site if noone helps you..

anonymous · Answer

Why not sketch the line x = 5? Do you know what that line looks like?

anonymous · Answer

not exactly, is it just a vertical line through the 5th hash on a coordinate plane?

anonymous · Answer

OK. It looks like this....

anonymous · Answer

yeah thats what i meant

anonymous · Answer

So you tell me, what are two points that lie on the line x = 5?

anonymous · Answer

5,1 and 5,2?

anonymous · Answer

yes, (5,1) and (5,2)...or even (5, -213)

anonymous · Answer

Now you do question #2. Sketch the line y = -2.

anonymous · Answer

aright cool, and im assuming the rest is the same thing? i really just needed that clarified. thanks alot

Your assignment is straightforward. If you have difficulty with something, write back. But try doing your assignment first by yourself, and then, if you are stuck, write back for help.

anonymous · Answer

Alright thanks for the clarification. I knew it was easy, just forgot the basics. its been a while

anonymous · Answer

When it says write an equation, its refering to slope intercept form right? y=mx+b

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

so for #3 it would be y=8x+-8?

anonymous · Answer

No. 

A horizontal line has the equation y = b, where b is a real number. You did that in #2 above.

Look at my sketch..........

anonymous · Answer

So sketch the point (-1,-8) and draw a horizontal line through that point. What is the equation of that line?

anonymous · Answer

y=-8?

anonymous · Answer

Yes. Correct.

anonymous · Answer

You may want to make sure that your sketch in #2 is correct.

anonymous · Answer

alright, thanks a lot. i have to go to bed, the homework isnt due untill friday. I will work on it later, and contact you if i need help. I will look at #2 also, have a good day

anonymous · Answer

ok. Good Night.
