Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through each pair of points. (-3,9), (-3,-5)

Answer 1

Answer:

since slope(m) = y2 -y1/x2- x1

-5 - 9/ -3 - (-3)= -14/0

m = -14/0 (undefined)

using the formula

y-y1 = m(x -x1)

y - 9 = -14/0(x - (-3)

y-9 = -14/0(x + 3)

0 = -14( x+3). (cross multiplication)

0 = -14x - 42

14x = -42

x = -3( equation of the line)
