Question

Write equations for the vertical and horizontal lines passing through the point (0, -3).

Answer 1

Answer:

Vertical line will be x=0, and horizontal line will be y=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a vertical line through point (0,-3). You will see it's on the y-axis. The equation of the line on y-axis is always x=0, because no matter what point you choose on the line, the x coordinate will be 0. (0,-3), (0, -2), etc.

Next draw a horizontal line through (0,-3). It's parallel to the x axis, and no matter what point on the line you choose, the y coordinate will be -3. (0,-3), (1, -3), etc
