Question

What is the equation of a vertical line passing through the point (-5,-1)

Answer 1

Learn this :
VUX -- vertical line, undefined slope, represented by x = a number
HOY -- horizontal line, 0 slope, represented by y = a number

ok....so u need the equation for a vertical line passing thru (-5,-1)...
a vertical line is represented by x = a number.....and that number will be the x value of ur points.

Therefore, ur equation is : x = -5 <==

**just so u know, if u were needing a horizontal line going thru the same points, ...and a horizontal line is represented by y = a number...with the number being the y value of ur points....the equation would be y = -1
