Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image asks to "Write equations of the horizontal and the vertical lines that pass through the point (-3, 0)."
Let's break this down:
-
Horizontal Line: A horizontal line has the equation in the form , where is the constant -value for all points on the line. For the point (-3, 0), the horizontal line passes through .
Equation of the horizontal line:
-
Vertical Line: A vertical line has the equation in the form , where is the constant -value for all points on the line. For the point (-3, 0), the vertical line passes through .
Equation of the vertical line:
Thus, the two equations are:
- Horizontal line:
- Vertical line:

Here are some related questions:
- What is the general form of an equation for a vertical line?
- How do the slopes of horizontal and vertical lines differ?
- How do these equations change if the point changes, say to (5, 7)?
- Can a line be both horizontal and vertical at the same time?
- How do you find the equation of a line passing through two given points?
Tip: Horizontal lines always have a slope of 0, while vertical lines have an undefined slope.
