1. In an equation of a horizontal line, all of the y-values are the same and the x-values can be any value at all.
\n" ); document.write( "For example:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+5\"$ or $\"y+=+17\"$ These are both example of horizontal lines, the first passes through y = 5 while the second passes through y = 17.
\n" ); document.write( "2. In an equation for a vertical line, all of the x-values are the same and the y-values can be any value at all.
\n" ); document.write( "For example:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+7\"$ or $\"x+=+45\"$ These are both equations for vertical lines, the first passes through x = 7 while the second passes through x = 45.
