Q. What is the equation of the vertical line through (−8,5)
Identify Characteristics: Identify the characteristics of a vertical line.A vertical line has an undefined slope and can be represented by an equation of the form x=a, where 'a' is the x-coordinate of any point the line passes through.
Determine X-coordinate: Determine the x-coordinate of the point through which the vertical line passes.The given point is (−8,5), so the x-coordinate is −8.
Write Equation: Write the equation of the vertical line using the x-coordinate from the previous step.The equation of the vertical line that passes through (−8,5) is x=−8.
