  • Explain vertical line with a graph of equation x = 4.

    Since y-axis is vertical line so x=4 will also be vertical line. If we graph this line x = 4, we can see that it is a straight line which is parallel to y-axis and is a vertical line.

  • Vertical line

    205025 Vertical line Explain why the line x = 4 is a vertical line. Any two points on the line x = 4 has form (4, a) and (4, b). So its slope is (b-a)/(4-4), which is infinity or undefined.

  • Find the equation of a vertical line passing through a point.

    41932 Find the Equation of a Vertical Line Passing Through a Point What is the equation of a vertical line passing thorugh (-1,2) ? A vertical line is a collection of points that *regardless* of their y coordinate, keep the same x-coordinate.

  • Explanation of slope !!!

    In a vertical line, you rise infinitely, but you have no run, so you have some number as your rise/0. Anything divided by 0 is undefined, so the slope of a vertical line is undefined. Vertical lines have NO SLOPE.

  • equations for the vertical and horizontal lines

    Vertical line: All points on a vertical line have the same x-coordinates. The line passes through (4, -4), so all points have x-coordinate of 4. then the line equation is x = 4.

  • equation of vertical and horizontal lines through a point

    vertical line: all points on this line have the same x-coordinate x=-3. horizontal line: all points on this line have the same y-coordinate y=5.
