Math Problem Statement
write equations of the horizantal and vertical lines that pass through the point (2,-2)
Solution
The horizontal and vertical lines passing through the point (2, -2) can be written as follows:
-
Equation of the horizontal line: A horizontal line has a constant y-coordinate. Since the y-coordinate of the point (2, -2) is -2, the equation of the horizontal line is:
-
Equation of the vertical line: A vertical line has a constant x-coordinate. Since the x-coordinate of the point (2, -2) is 2, the equation of the vertical line is:
