Question 213509
What is the equation of the line with an undefined slope and x intercept =2


Step 1.  The general equation is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  The equation called the slope-intercept form.


Step 2.  We are given that the x-intercept is 2 which means at x=2 then y=0.


Step 3.  Substitute in the general equation to find b


{{{y=mx+b}}}


{{{0=m(2)+b}}}


{{{b=-2m}}}


Step 4.  With b=-2m substitute in equation of Step 1.


{{{y=mx-2m}}}  OR  {{{y=m(x-2)}}}  ANSWER


I hope the above steps were helpful.
