You can put this solution on YOUR website! what is an equation for a nonvertical line that contains the point (2,-4)
----
Form: y = mx
Substitute and solve for "m":
-4 = m*2
m = -2
---
Equation:
y = -2x

====================
The vertical line passing through (2,-4) would be x = 2
The horizontal line passing through the point (2,-4) would be y = -4
A horizontal line will start off "y =" and then be the y-coordinate that it
passes through on the other side of the equal sign, with no x variable.
A vertical line will start off "x = " and then be the x-coordinate that it
passes through on the other side of the equal sign, with no y variable. www.algebrahouse.com
