Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point, (-1, 2), and that the slope is <u><em>undefined</em></u>.

The standard linear equation of vertical lines is <em>x</em> =<em> a</em>, where the x-intercept is (<em>a</em>, 0), and the slope is undefined because all points on the line have the same x-coordinate.  Attempting to solve for the slope of a vertical line using the slope formula, m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁), will result in a mathematical operation of <u>division by zero</u> (which is an <em>undefined operation</em>).  

Since the slope is <u>undefined</u>, then it is <u>not possible</u> to create a linear equation in either the slope-intercept form, or point-slope form.

Therefore, the equation of a vertical line given the point, (-1, 2) is <em>x</em> = -1.

Ilya [14]
Question #1
\frac{9}{25}=\frac{x}{120}\\\\120(9) = 25x\\\\1080 = 25x\\\\x= 43.2

For #1, the answer is 43.2

Question #2
\frac{6}{5} = \frac{2580}{x} \\\\2580(5) = 6x\\\\12900 = 6x\\\\x = 2150

For #2, the answer is 2150
