Q. Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (−3,1) and (−3,2). Put your answer in fully simplified point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal line.Answer:
Determine Line Orientation: Determine if the line is vertical or horizontal.Since the x-coordinates of both points are the same (−3), the line is vertical. A vertical line has an undefined slope and cannot be expressed in point-slope form.
Write Vertical Line Equation: Write the equation of a vertical line.The equation of a vertical line is of the form x=a, where a is the x-coordinate of any point on the line. Since our line passes through the points (−3,1) and (−3,2), the equation of our line is x=−3.
