Plot the points and determine their slope. Graph the line

1.(,);(,)
Plot the points:


determine their slope:




so far, the equation of a line is :
since is y-intercept, using given point (,) and calculate





so, you have

graph:




2.
(,);(,)


determine their slope:





so far, the equation of a line is :
plug in (,)




your line is:



3.
(,);(,)


determine their slope:




Since you CANNOT divide by , this means that the of the line is . The slope of a line is undefined.

in both of your given points is and are different

so, your line is vertical line : is always and can be anything
