Q:

write equations for the horizontal and vertical lines passing through the point (6,9)​

Accepted Solution

A:
The equations for the horizontal and vertical lines passing through the point (6,9)​ is y = 9 and x = 6 respectivelySolution:Given, point is (6, 9) We have to find the equations for horizontal and vertical lines passing through above given point. Now, let us find horizontal line, Β We know that, horizontal line is parallel to x – axis, so slope of our required line is 0. The point slope form is given as [tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)[/tex]Then, line equation in point slope form β‡’ y – 9 = 0(x – 6) β‡’ y – 9 = 0 β‡’ y = 9 Now, let us find vertical line, We know that, vertical line is parallel to y – axis, so slope of our required line is undefined [tex](\frac{1}{0})[/tex]Then, line equation in point slope form β‡’ [tex]y-9=\frac{1}{0}(x-6)[/tex]β‡’ x – 6 = 0(y – 9) β‡’ x – 6 = 0 β‡’ x = 6 Hence, the horizontal line equation is y = 9 and vertical line equation is x = 6.
