Quick algebra 1 question for 15 points!

Given the point with integral coordinates, (a, b), explain how to write the equation of the:

a) vertical line that contains (a, b):

b) horizontal line that contains (a, b):

Respuesta :

The desired linear functions are given as follows:

a) x = a.

b) y = b.

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

A vertical line has undetermined slope, hence it is defined by x = a, containing point (a,b).

A horizontal line has slope of 0, hence it is defined by y = b, containing point (a,b).
