find the value for for which the line is parallel to y-axis
first find the slope; recall, being parallel to the y-axis means to have a slope or where
the slope of the given line is:
=> which can be assumed to be equal to
Since the lines are ,their are .
i.e. =>
or, we can solve it this way:
if the line is to y-axis, then (by definition of the vertical line) we have a line where is a constant value and ; so, whatever value we choose for if we will have
