Question

The equation for the vertical line that goes through V(-5,17).

Answer 1

Given:-

The point (-5,17).

To find:-

The equation of the vertical line passing through the point (-5.17).

So to find the equation of the vertical line passing through the point (-5.17). we should know first that what axis does a vertical line describe.

To know that first we should know about vertical line.

The image of a vertical line is,

If this vertical line is in a graph then the line is marked by the value in the x-axis.

So to form a equation which passes through the given point (-5,17) and the vertical line denotes the x-axis.

So any vertical line passing through it,

$x=-5$

So the equation of a line passing through the given point is,

$x+5=0$

So the required equation is x+5=0
