Q. What is the equation of the vertical line through (2,3) ?
Characteristics of a vertical line: Understand the characteristics of a vertical line.A vertical line has an undefined slope because it goes straight up and down. The equation of a vertical line is always in the form of x=a constant value, where the constant is the x-coordinate of any point the line passes through.
Identifying the x-coordinate: Identify the x-coordinate of the given point.The given point through which the vertical line passes is (2,3). The x-coordinate of this point is 2.
Writing the equation of the vertical line: Write the equation of the vertical line.Since the x-coordinate of the point is 2, the equation of the vertical line that passes through (2,3) is x=2.
