You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Vertical lines are of the form $\"x=h\"$ where 'h' is any number. Because the vertical line must go through (-3,5), this means that $\"h=-3\"$ (because the x coordinate is -3). So the vertical line is $\"x=-3\"$ \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Similarly, horizontal lines are of the form $\"y=k\"$ where 'k' is any number. Since the line must go through (-3,5), we are forced to make 'k' equal to 5 (since the y coordinate is 5). So the horizontal line is $\"y=5\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
