Q. Complete the point-slope equation of the line (−7,6) through (−7,−8) and Use exact numbers.
Calculate Slope: Find the slope of the line using the two given points.The slope m of a line passing through two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the formula:m=x2−x1y2−y1Let's calculate the slope using the points (−7,6) and (−7,−8).m=−7−(−7)−8−6
Check for Division: Check for division by zero.Since the denominator (−7−(−7)) is zero, the slope is undefined. This means the line is vertical.
Write Line Equation: Write the equation of a vertical line.The equation of a vertical line is x=a constant value. Since both points have the same x-coordinate, which is −7, the equation of the line is x=−7.
