It is horizontal since the y intercepts are the same. |dw:1398183114951:dw|

any problem like this is the same right?

jadeishere · Answer

No, it's depending. if the x intercepts are the same, it will be vertical [ex. (5, 0) and (5, 5) would be vertical] if the y-intercepts are the same then it'd be horizontal. If none of the intercepts are the same, it will be either down or up. you have to graph the intercepts.
