Write equations for the vertical and horizontal lines passing through the point
(-3,5)
Vertical line:
Horizontal line:
-------
Plot the point in an x/y coordinate system.
---
Draw a horizontal line thru the point:
Notice the line goes thru all points where y = 5
The equation is y = 5
-------------------------------
Draw a vertical line thru the point:
Notice the line goes thru all points where x = -3.
The equation is x = -3
