Given parameters:
The coordinates of points on the line;
(x, y) = (-3,0) and (x, y) = (-3, 5)
Unknown;
The equation of the line = ?
The equation of a line is usually expressed in the form y = mx + c
Where;
y and x are the coordinates
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept
Now we need to first find the slope of the line.
Slope = [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }[/tex]
(x₁, y₁) = (-3,0) and (x₂, y₂) = (-3, 5)
Input the parameters and solve;
Slope = [tex]\frac{5 - 0}{-3 -(-3)}[/tex] = infinity
The line has an infinite slope.
The equation of the line is therefore x = c
x = -3
