Question 608512: what isthe equation of the vertical line that passes through the point (-2, -1).

what is the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (2, 4).

what is the equation that represents the line that passes through the point (-2, -1) and has a slope of 5.

what is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6, 4) and is parallel to y = 1/3x - 3.
Thank you for your help!

Hi

Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  

what isthe equation of the vertical line that passes through the point (-2, -1) x+=+-2 

what is the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (2, 4).  y+=+4

what is the equation that represents the line that passes through the point (-2, -1) and has a slope of 5.  

  y = 5x + b, -1 = 5·2 + b, b = -11 and y+=+5x-11

what is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6, 4) and is parallel to y = 1/3x - 3

  y = I/3x + b, 4 = (1/3)·6 + b, b = 2  and y+=+%281%2F3%29x+%2B+2
