You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the equations for each of the following: a. The line containing P(3,0)and perpendicular to the x-axis
 Plot the point.
 Then draw the vertical thru the point.
 Do you see that it passes thru all points where x = 3?
 Equation: x = 3
 -----------------------
 b. The line containing P(-4,5)and parallel to the x-axis
 Plot the point.
 Draw a line thru it parallel to the x-axis.
 Do you see that it passes thru all the points
 where y = 5?
 Equation: y = 5
 ========================
