You want the equation of this green vertical line:Let's look at some other points on that green line: What's true about all those points? Their x-coodinate is always 8, never anything but 8. So the equation is simply the statement x = 8 That's all there is to it! Just x = 8 because that is true for every point on that vertical green line. -------------------------------------------------- You want the equation of this green horizontal line: Let's look at some other points on that green line: What's true about all those points? Their y-coodinate is always 3, never anything but 3. So the equation is simply the statement y = 3 That's all there is to it! Just y = 3 because that is true for every point on that vertical green line. -------------------------------------------------- You do the other one. The equations of vertical and horizontal lines have the simplest equations of all. Vertical lines always have the equation "x = something". Horizontal lines always have the equation "y = something".
