You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the point is (-4,1),
(a) Find the equation of the vertical line containing the given point.
Ans: x = -4
-----------------------
(b) Find the equation of the horizontal line containing the given point.
Ans: y = 1
-----------------------
(c) Find the general equation of a line with slope 5 containing the point.
(-4,1)
Form: y = mx +b
Solve for "b":
1 = 5(-4)+b
b = 21
-----
Equation:
y = 5x+21
