Question 95220This question is from textbook Precalculus with limits
: I am in pre-cal, but none of my previous classes mentioned general form, and my book doesn't say how to get it from any two points not intercepts. Help? Please?
The points for the problem are (-8,1) and (-8,7).

Answer by scott8148(6628)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the general form for a linear equation is Ax+By+C=0 where A, B, and C are integers
because the y values of the points are different but the x values are the same, the slope of the line is undefined (vertical)
the equation is x+8=0 ... the y value has no effect
Answer by edjones(8007)  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (-8,1) and (-8,7)
General Form: Ax+By+C=0
slope-intercept form: y=mx+b
1st we get the slope (m)
m=(1-7)/-8+8
m=-6/0=undefined because division is not allowed.
We have to stop there.
We can't write an equation without the slope.
