Vertical lines are of the form x=a where "a" is the x-coordinate of the point that it passes through.


So, the vertical line passing through the point (-4,-2) is x=-4


---------------------


Horizontal lines are of the form y=b where "b" is the y-coordinate of the point that it passes through.


So the horizontal line passing through the point (-4,-2) is y=-2
