Could you please show me how to do this.
Write an equation of the vertical and horizontal lines that pass through the given point (6,-6)
y equals?
x equals ?
You'll use the fourth quadrant, count to six on the X Axis and then count to -6 on the Y Axis.
Plot your point.
the equation of a horizontal line looks like y = c
the equation of a vertical line looks like x = k, where c and k are constants.
in your case:
y = -6
x = 6
Ok, I get it now, thanks!
To write the equation of a vertical line passing through the point (6,-6), we can use the equation x = a, where "a" is the x-coordinate of the point. Similarly, to write the equation of a horizontal line passing through the point (6,-6), we use the equation y = b, where "b" is the y-coordinate of the point.
Therefore, the equation of the vertical line passing through (6,-6) is x = 6, and the equation of the horizontal line passing through (6,-6) is y = -6.
