Find the equations for each of the following:
a. The line containing P(3,0)and perpendicular to the x-axis
Plot the point.
Then draw the vertical thru the point.
Do you see that it passes thru all points where x = 3?
Equation: x = 3
-----------------------
b. The line containing P(-4,5)and parallel to the x-axis
Plot the point.
Draw a line thru it parallel to the x-axis.
Do you see that it passes thru all the points
where y = 5?
Equation: y = 5
