Question

Line k is vertical and contains the point (8,3). Which of the following equations represents line k?A. x=3B. y=3C. x=8D. y=8

Answer 1

ANSWER

x = 8

EXPLANATION

We have that the line K, that passes through (8, 3) is vertical.

The general equation for a vertical line is given as:

x = a

Note: the line passes through (a, b)

This means that regardless of the value of y, x remains constant.

Therefore, the equation of the vertical line that passes through (8, 3) is:

x = 8
