What is the equation of the vertical line through (-2,-3)

Answer 1

X=-2

X=c where c is any constant will describe a vertical line through all points that have an x value of c. Or another way to look at it is the set of all points (c,y) is a vertical line. If you know you're dealing with a vertical line the you only need one point to determine the formula (same with horizontal lines but they are defines as Y=c where c is any constant).

Answer 2

Hello Marisol. First of all, you should underline the words vertical line. This is because you vertical line is the x. In which the equation would be x = something. So x = -2. So the equation of the vertical line that passes through (-2,-3) is x = -2.
