Math Problem Statement
passing through (7,3) and parallel to the y axis
Solution
The equation of a line that is parallel to the y-axis has the form:
Where is the x-coordinate of every point on the line. Since the line passes through the point , the x-coordinate for this line is . Therefore, the equation of the line passing through and parallel to the y-axis is:
