Math Problem Statement
Write an equation of the line. Vertical; through (-4, -1).
Solution
The problem is asking for the equation of a vertical line passing through the point (-4, -1).
For vertical lines, the equation is always of the form:
where is the x-coordinate of every point on the line. Since the line passes through the point (-4, -1), the equation is:
This is the standard form of the equation for a vertical line passing through the given point. Let me know if you'd like any further explanation or have questions!
