Question 112053: Write the equation of the line passing through (–6, –3) and (–6, 1).
Answer by checkley71(8403)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Y2=1, Y1=-3, X2=-6, X1=-6.
1-(-3)=1+3=4 THIS IS THE NUMERATOR.
-6-(-6)=-6+6=0 THIS IS THE DENOMINATOR.
THE BEST EXPLANATION I HAVE IS TO PLOT THESE 2 SETS OF POINTS AND DRAW A LINE BETWEEN THEM.
DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU GET THE 3-17 ?????????
------------------------------------------------------------------------
the line equation is: y=Mx+B where M=slope & B=the y intercept.
first we need to find the slope (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(1+3)/(-6*6)=4/0 or this slope is undefined & is a verticle line through the point x=-6
thus the line equation is:
x=-6 & has no y intercept.
