Question 1197239: Determine the equation of the vertical line passing through the point (7,-2). Found 2 solutions by math_tutor2020, MathLover1:Answer by math_tutor2020(3816) (Show Source):
In this case, the answer is x = 7 since the x coordinate of (7,-2) is 7.
Every point on this vertical line has the same x coordinate.
Two such other points are (7,0) and (7,1)
The x coordinate is fixed, or stuck, at 7.
The y coordinate can be whatever you want.
Side notes:
The slope of any vertical line is undefined.
We cannot write vertical lines in the form y = mx+b since the slope m is undefined.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equation of a vertical line always takes the form , where a is the x-intercept. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
the point on that line has coordinates (,)
if given point (,) =>
then, the equation of the vertical line passing through the point (,) is
